Mitchell Funk
Peacock Displaying Blue and Green Plumage

2002

About the Item

The male peacock is a living work of art. Mitchell Funk has captured a moment of full display with iridescent coloration. Arguably, the male peacock rivals the work of any abstract painter. Seeing the bird in the three-quarter view is the most flattering angle to view the face and the eye-catching crest feathers that resemble the helmet of a Roman centurion. Signed dated and numbered 2/15 lower right recto, other sizes available, unframed, printed later .Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper 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. He has had more than 50 Photography Magazine Covers and has had covers on Newsweek, Fortune, New York Magazine and Life Magazine among others
