About the Item

An urban youth shrouds his head in a blue sweater as he coils up against a blue Soho wall marked with Graffiti. Reminiscent of Picasso's Blue Period, the photograph is characterized by a palette of deep blues accented with magenta that exudes a sense of desolation. The subject's pose and posture, with a lowered head and tucked limbs, add to a sense of melancholia. In contrast to the overall somber tone, a remnant wall illustration of an alert eye stares back at the viewer. 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
