Chrysler Building with Pan Am Building

Creator: Mitchell Funk
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
Photographer Mitchell Funk looks up at the Met Life and Chrysler Buildingas from Grand Central Station. He perfectly designs dark and light areas with golds set against blues. A silhouetted light post with metal signs attached has a fanciful shape and rises in the center of the composition. It simultaneously separates and unifies both of the sun-lit buildings. For a final accent, a jet flies into the perfect spot. Strong lighting from the late afternoon sun ties all the elements together, forming a meticulously designed graphic statement. Mitchell Funk is an abstractionist while being a documentarian.
