About the Item

It's 1971, and most photographers were shooting in black and white. Fine Art Photography was not yet in the mainstream vocabulary of museums — almost no art galleries considered or exhibited color photography as fine art. Yet, at the tender age of 21, self-taught photographer Mitchell Funk was skilled in the art of picture making and experimenting with the color aspect of color photography. He was also inventing new ways to take a picture. In "Multiple Exposure of Colorful Flowers St. Patrick's Cathedral," young Funk shoots a straight shot of a flower bed and then, then does 6 on-the-spot in-camera multiple exposures overlaying the flower images with different filters. Finally, he processes the Ektachrome film in C 22 to get this eye-pleasing spectrum of color. Fifty-three years later, the image still looks fresh and inventive. More importantly, it prefigures much of what we see in contemporary art concerning the use of unexpected color.
