Two New York Skylines in One Fantasy Picture - Chrysler Building at Sunset

Creator: Mitchell Funk
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
In 1980, conventional thinking suggested that one highly dramatic photograph of the New York skyline would be a sufficient artistic statement. Photographer Mitchell Funk felt there was more he could do to express New York's vibrancy and vastness. He took two nighttime skyline images from different angles and pieced them together. "Two New York Skylines" is not just a unique picture for 1980 in a graphic sense but in it's vastness and energy, reveals the psychological state of the city. Views of the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building from Central Park are now blocked by new skyscraper development.

For the last 55 years, Mitchell Funk has endlessly explored the relationship of light, color, shape and composition, which has become the artist's central pursuit.
