About the Item
The play of light and shadow is on full display in this photograph by Mitchell Funk. His upward view of the Chrysler Building from an unexpected angle departs from traditional color photography in how it depicts the grandeur of iconic architecture.
An adjacent building casts a hard-edge black shadow that reduces forms to pure geometric shapes. The shadow also frames the picture's main subject while leading the viewer's eye upward. Strong lighting creates high contrasts of black and white that flattens the picture and heightens it's dramatic effect. The image is also meticulously designed, which is a hallmark of Mitchell Funk's style.
Signed, dated and numbered 3/15 lower right recto. Other sizes are available. The work is unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper 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. For the last 55 years, Mitchell Funk has endlessly explored the relationship of light, color and shape. These interactions have become the central pursuit of the artist. 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.
