Mitchell Funk brings finely honed photography skills such as composition, intense lighting and design to found subject matter. Mitchell Funk brings the compositional precision of studio photography to street photography. Unlike most street photographers, Funk is an abstractionist while being a documentarian. the last rays of light outline silhouettes of the subjects. A street photograph is as much about abstraction as representation. In the 1970s very few photographers were shooting on the street in color. br Signed and dated on lower right, numbered on verso Edition 2 of 15. Unframed.
