Brooklyn Bridge Abstraction with Romantic Out of Focus Floral Colors

Creator: Mitchell Funk
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
The romantic merges with the classic in Mitchell Funk's 1970s interpretation of the Brooklyn Bridge. With a long lens, Funk incorporates the emotionally joyful colors of out-of-focus flowers with the soaring classical stone arch of the Brooklyn Bridge tower.
The image was done over 50 years ago and is a very early example of how Funk's emphasis on bold color and abstraction in color photography made him a photography pioneer.
