Mitchell Funk
South Beach Life Guard Station in Red, Yellow and Blue

2010

About the Item

South Beach's iconic and colorful lifeguard station is a mecca for tourist snapshooters. Veteran color photographer Michell Funk reexamines this subject as an abstract hard-edge color field painting as opposed to the more expected approach. A deeply saturated blue sky serves as a ground for an interconnected network of red and yellow lines and shapes. This archival color photograph by fine art photographer Mitchell Funk is signed, dated and numbered 2/15, lower right recto. Other sizes are available and the fine art photograph 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.

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.
