Crying Child in Stroller, Vintage Print - Female Street Photographer

Creator: Vivian Maier
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
Female Street Photographer Vivian Maier captures a riveting moment of a child consumed in grief. The physiological and psychological anguish dominates her young face with arch eyes and a stressed, wide open mouth. The image personifies childhood pain in visual terms. Ironically, an object of pleasure - a half eaten candy bar is held front and center and contradicts the child state. This powerful human study reminds us of Diane Arbus's famous image " A Child Crying, New Jersey, 1967.
Unframed. This is a rare vintage silver gelatine print made during Vivian Maier lifetime.
