Mitchell Funk
Snowy Night, Rainy Night in Manhattan with Orange Sky

2015

About the Item

A solitary hooded figure crosses a desolate Manhattan street as light snow and rain come down. For 54 years, Mitchell Funk has been chronicling the effects of light on form; here, he uses a long lens with a fast ISO to capture this moody New York night scene. Noteworthy is how the ambient street lights illuminate the falling snow turning them into an all-over graphic element. The result is a complex and unexpected pictorial structure with detail in the foreground snowflakes. and detail in the background street scene simultaneously. This image is 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 50 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.
