Additional Details

From the Polaroid Collection.
This print is from a collaboration between Frank, Robert Heinecken, Dave Heath, and John Wood funded by Polaroid and intended to create a long-distance dialogue regarding their mutual interest in words and images. The project was initiated in 1983 by Eelco Wolf, Polaroid's Director of Worldwide Communications, and the correspondence was published in a series of newsletters titled "The Knute Rockne Oasis Newsletter and Journal of Critical Opinion." It was administered by Susan E. Cohen and William S. Johnson. After funding ceased in 1985, Cohen and Johnson published a limited number of copies of "Horses, Sea Lions, and Other Creatures: Robert Frank, Dave Heath, Robert Heinecken, and John Wood" for the participants.
