About the Item
The glorification of light was an early theme Mitchell Funk employed in his street photography. Funk breaks with tradition and shoots street photography in color. Today in 2022, this does not seem like a big deal. But 50 years ago in 1970, it was quite a trailblazing effort. Color captures something that is missing in Black and White. It's a greater sense of realism.
Funk is an early voice for tight design, color and carefully composed compositions instead of the more generally accepted "snapshot" street image.
The fine art print is signed, dated and numbered 2/15, lower right recto.unframed, Other sizes available. , printed later, Printed on Hahnemuhle fine art paper
