About the Item

This Mithcell Funk image exhibits both beauty and whimsy. An interplay of beautiful magenta and blue is echoed with an interplay of structures in Long Island City. Alternating buildings and smokestacks form a pyramidal composition. While man-made smoke in the foreground is echoed by similarly shaped clouds in the sky. The left to right movement of the structures is tied together by a dialog of the foreground and background clouds. It is signed, dated and numbered 4/15 lower right recto. Other sizes are available. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper The work is unframed and printed later. 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. He has had more than 50 Photography Magazine Covers and has had covers on Newsweek, Fortune, New York Magazine and Life Magazine among others.
