All American Favorites: Husky Dogs and Clint Eastwood in Times Square
-
Description
Assisted by the right angle and right light, Street Photographer Mitchell Funk designs an image of Times Square Billboards that is as abstract as it is representational. Two huskies ham it up next to American movie icon Clint Eastwood. So is the density of New York City, where unexpected juxtapositions abound. It's the artist's job to extract and record them in an unexpectedly artful way.
Signed dated and numbered 2/15 lower right recto, other sizes available, printed later, unframed. This work is printed on fine art Hahnemuhle paper. The color will vary from monitor to monitor.
