About the Item

"Surreal Desert Landscape" is an example of Mitchell Funk's early work. It depicts Monument Valley in an unexpected way. It's 1976 and color photography was not even seriously acknowledged as fine art. Funk broke ranks with current-day thinking and photographed Monument Valley in negative color with a blue filter. In doing so, he deconstructs the traditional view of color photography. The result is a punchy color, surreal sci-fi image that looks contemporary 49 years later. Signed, dated and numbered on lower right, o. Edition: 3/12, printed later, Unframed, other sizes available Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper. 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
