About the Item

Mitchell Funk employs a unique camera angle to turn a busy San Francisco Street into a minimalist artistic statement. This main urban thoroughfare normally crammed with traffic is dotted only with two aligned figures. The use of dramatic light has characterized Mitchell Funk's work for 52 years. 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 52 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.
