Description
A solarized gelatin silver print titled "Man with Cigar, 1986" by Michael Spano. Signed on verso. Edition of 2 out of 25. In this compelling street portrait, Michael Spano captures a sharply dressed man in dark glasses, mid-stride, with a cigar balanced between his lips. The photograph transforms the bustling urban backdrop into a dreamlike blur, while the subject's profile is rendered with striking clarity and tonal richness. The interplay between soft, haloed edges and deep blacks lends the image a cinematic intensity, evoking both immediacy and timelessness. Spano's mastery of street photography and experimental printing is on full display, elevating a fleeting moment into a richly atmospheric work.
