About the Item
In the early 1970s, Central Park was a center for celebrations and protests. In his image, the Hare Krishnas who are a mystical sect of Hinduism are capture in singing their mantra. Photographer Mitchell Funk breaks with tradition and shoots street photography in color. Today in 2022, this does not seem like a big deal. But 51 years ago in 1971, it was quite a trailblazing effort. Color captures something that is missing in Black and White. It's a greater sense of realism.
Funk is an early voice for tight design, bold color and carefully composed compositions instead of the more generally accepted "snapshot" street image.
The fine art print is signed, dated and numbered 3/15, lower right recto. Other sizes available. , printed later, Printed on Hahnemuhle 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. Mitchell Funk is a pioneer of " Color Photography" In 1970 he participated in one of the first " Color Photography" shows at a major museum.
