About the Item
An endless road is pictured in a timeless landscape. As the road winds through the vast expanse of the American West, the grandeur of the surrounding landscape minimizes a solitary car, communicating the feeling of Man being dwarfed by Nature. The warm color scheme of the road seamlessly integrates with brushy magenta topography and cool blue misty mountains. The challenge for photographer Mitchell Funk, was to make something interesting out of what normally is a dull grey landscape. Funk is a colorist; his lighting transforms a grey-scape into a beautiful image of unexpected colors. All life is fleeting, and within minutes after this shot was taken, the sky became cloudy, and the magical golden road reverted to grey.

________________________
Frank Schott grew up in Germany and attended the prestigious Academy of Arts in Cologne, studying under Professor Arno Jansen, who was an early influence.
Moving to California in 1998, Schott's work has evolved to include the epic landscapes and deserts of the American West as well as architectural, conceptual and more formal environments from both home and his travels.
Influenced by a number of photographic peers and precursors such as Candida Höfer, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Jeff Wall, Michael Wolf, Gregory Crewdson, William Eggleston and Joel Sternfeld, Schott's images successfully blend technical, conceptual and formal rigor with a decisive sense of composition and color.
Schott's images have an iconic sensibility and give us a bird's eye view onto humanity and its constructs. The specific is edged towards the abstract, often revealing the compelling and disjunctive moment where nature meets man.
Frank Schott was born in Cologne, Germany in 1962. He currently lives and works in San Francisco...
