Mitchell FunkHippies in Central Park with Oversized Psychedelic Moon1971
1971
About the Item
Two flower children converse among a gathering of hippies in Central Park. They are adorned with yellow flowers in their hair, which symbolize freedom and ideals of universal belonging.
Above them is an oversized psychedelic green moon, whose shape is echoed in a green balloon in the foreground.
Photographer Mitchell Funk alters the moon's color and size to express the moment's liberating social character. The hippie movement advocated love, beauty, and peace but was also an agent of change that rejected the old regime which was caught up in the brutality of the Vietnam War. The conception of the picture is quite original and inventive by a 21 year old photographer of considerable intellect and insight.
The work is signed dated and numbered 2/15 lower right recto, with other sizes available, and it's unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper Mitchell Funk is an abstractionist while being a documentarian
