Untitled Manifested=Clark Realized
Fujifilm "XT5 Predator"; TAMRON 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD

So really, how often is it that one sees a person appearing to have stepped out of a painting? Is it synchronicity, a 'Bresson Moment', or something else? Don't know, but here at the Met I was certainly in the right gallery room... 🎉🎇🥳

The art is by Ed Clark, and was completed in 1966. It is an untitled work, and I do not even want to know what Lila Acheson Wallace paid for it at Christies... 💰🤑💰

Clark was a Black abstract impressionist, and was influential in the late modernist movement. You may remember him as the guy that shoved paint about on canvas with a push broom, and then sold them for millions. Nice work if you can find it.

And to be perfectly clear, this image is real and not an AI illustration.
