They say that Photography captures the truth. That couldn't be more true than in this photograph, "Runner in Angelic Light". It captures both the physical truth and also the spiritual truth. Through Funk's lens, he harnesses the spiritual force of light. Angelic Light assists a lone runner in elevating him as he glides down a cobble-stone street toward the grand arches of the Brooklyn Bridge. The location in 1974 was an industrial area. Mitchell Funk's highly stylized style of image-making transforms the ordinary into the spiritual. br Signed and dated and numbered lower right, 2\\u002F15 Printed later, other sizes available, unframed - Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper. br Mitchell Funk is a pioneer of " Color Photography" In 1970 he participated in one the first " Color Photography" shows at a major museum.
