Mitchell Funk
Shirtless Man with Hat Against Pink Wall Chelsea, Manhattan - Street Photography

1970

About the Item

An unexpectedly bright magenta wall serves as a background for a hatted passerby. In 1970 very few people were shooting in color, and just a handful of photographers exploited the color aspect of color photography. The color of the magenta wall is a subject in the same way as the man. Can a street photograph be a grab shot and precisely designed at the same time? Mitchell Funk says yes. He brings finely honed photography skills such as composition, intense lighting and design to found subject matter. Mitchell Funk brings the compositional precision of studio photography to street photography. Unlike most street photographers, Funk is an abstractionist while being a documentarian. Mitchell Funk is a pioneer of " Color Photography" In 1970 he participated in one the first " Color Photography" shows at a major museum. Brooklyn Museum, show "Images en Couleur" . 1971 Included he was included in the visionary book "Frontiers of Photography" Time Life. Color ! American Photography Transformed. Amon Carter Museum.
