About the Item

Climate Change can be beautiful. Wildfires from Canada created an orange smoke field that blanked New York City. For a photographer, air pollution was an aesthetic gift. Perched on an upper east side highrise roof, Mitchell Funk captured a unique and beautiful New York moment. With the skinny super-tall skyscrapers of Billionaires Row serving as a backdrop, Funk composes a joyful orange sun above the hazy city where the hard lines of architecture become soft. This image is part representational and part impressionist, akin to Monet's sunset over the Claude Monet, Claude Monet, Le Parlement, soleil couchant (1900-1903). This image is signed, dated and numbered 2/15 lower right recto. Other sizes are available. The work is unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper Can a street photograph be a grab shot and precisely designed simultaneously? 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.
