About the Item

While walking past an antique store in New York's Lower East Side, Photographer Mitchell Funk was struck by a fleeting burst of divine light striking a gold crucifix of Jesus Christ. Since Funk always travels with a camera in hand, he seized the moment. With only seconds to execute, he whipped out his Nikon and snapped this unique moment of a starburst bouncing off the cross. The light symbolizes the spiritual illumination of God's presence. On the edge of the cross, rays emanate outward, connecting heaven and earth with Divine Mercy. A large, red diagonal wedge frames the cross and symbolizes Jesus's blood and sacrifice. The overall image is quite abstract, with a harmonious, perfect society of color, and with all compositional elements leading the eye to the cross. The work is signed dated and numbered 3/15 lower right recto, with other sizes available, and it's unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper The uploaded video on 1stDibs is coming up a bit off color. Refer to the still images for more accurate color Mitchell Funk is a pioneer of " Color Photography." In 1970, he participated in one of the first " Color Photography" shows at a major museum. Brooklyn Museum, "Images en Couleur." In 1971, he was included in the visionary book "Frontiers of Photography" by Time-Life. Color! American Photography Transformed. Amon Carter Museum. He is in the Coca-Cola Archives collection, among others.
