Description

Art by God? If so, the peacock is his most magnificent creation. The bird's majestic and iridescent metallic blues and greens with an endlessly large train are on full display. The peacock effortlessly sits in a tree as if he's posing for the camera. In reality, it's quite rare to see them in trees and is a rare caught moment. The curving shape of the tree intersects with the curving shape of the bird, while the repetitive shapes of the palms echo the shape of the peacock's feathers. In fact, the tree has some of the visual characteristics of the bird. It has a long curving trunk with palms that are formed like feathers. Robert Funk is a photographer and New York advertising art director for Print and TV. He was widely published in the 1970s and 1980s. - Signed, dated and numbered 3/15 recto, unframed, other sizes available.
