About the Item

In 1969, weekends at Bethesda Fountain were a gathering place for the radical, glamorous, and hip people of the time. Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin were regular speakers there. Portrait of a "Black Hippie with Blond Afro" is another quintessential image that sums up the joyful era of peace and love. Although the image was taken 54 years ago, it looks very contemporary. It's a portrait of a woman, yet it's an abstraction of shape and color. Mitchell Funk's take on street photography demonstrates that grab shots do not have to look like snapshots. Funk's principles achievement is that he retools traditional photojournalism of the street to embody the compositional exactitude of the studio. His images are graphic, well-composed and about precise design as much as about subject. In this regard, Funk distinguishes himself from other practitioners of the genre. Later in his career, Mitchell would minimize the narrative and let the color of color photography be the protagonist. In 1970, photography was just marginally considered to be art. Color Photography was not even part of the art conversation. Participating in the first Color Photography show at a major museum was trailblazing and historically important. This color photograph represents a standard in the canon of photography history. Additionally, the show was assembled by a historically important black curator.
