About the Item
Groovy portrait of a hippy in from of a Head Shop in St. Mark's Places, East Village. In the 1970s, color photography was still not recognized as fine art. As a street photographer, Mitchell Funk breaks with traditional black and white photography and shoots on the street with Kodachrome. His goal is to make color photography full of color in this nascent art form. In this image, the colorful walls are much as a subject as the introspective man. When Funk shoots on the street, he scans the environment for situations with remarkable color. In 1971, the idea of colorful color photographs was the radical trailblazing idea that has taken root in street shooters today. Mitchell Funk invented it over 50 years ago.
