About the Item

As with most of Mitchell Funk's street photography, his images are the opposite of sloppy shoot and grab. He brings the compositional exactitude of studio photography outdoors. In "Chrysler Building Art Deco in Minimalist Composition" Funk framed the 1930's Art Deco icon with an adjacent building. He waits for a perfectly cloudless blue sky and directional light and the result is more than just a document of the Chrysler Building. It's a minimalist composition in blue and yellow. 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. He has had more than 50 Photography Magazine Covers and has had covers on Newsweek, Fortune, New York Magazine and Life Magazine among others.
