About the Item

They say that Photography captures the truth. That couldn't be more true than in this photograph, "Runner in Angelic Light". It captures both the physical truth and also the spiritual truth. Through Funk's lens, he harnesses the spiritual force of light. Angelic Light assists a lone runner in elevating him as he glides down a cobble-stone street toward the grand arches of the Brooklyn Bridge. The location in 1974 was an industrial area. Mitchell Funk's highly stylized style of image-making transforms the ordinary into the spiritual.

As light strikes form, it becomes stylized and almost abstract, creating a new relationship between subject and style. An indication of the date this was taken is revealed by the old fashion TV antennas...
