Description
Photographer Mitchell Funk demonstrates the link between minimalism and street photography, which is usually associated with a loose snapshot style.
The present image fuses different architectural styles, shapes, and colors into a highly dramatic and original New York City image. Here, Funk incorporates a colorful 42nd Street marquee as an unexpected framing device to highlight the iconic spire of the Chrysler Building. The image showcases close-up and distant elements that form a unified composition. It emphasizes Funk's meticulously crafted and designed style, giving the photograph a strong pictorial presence, and is part of the photographer's current exhibition. Mitchell Funk Photographs the Chrysler Building for Fifty Years.
