Color Photograph by Manuel Larrañaga Sardiñas: Rosa 840

Magenta sedan swaggers across a gray street, whitewall tires and all.

This color photograph is from Cuba, and is contemporary. It is pigment on paper. Photography has a strong tradition in Cuba, where documentary and street photographers have long recorded daily life, architecture and the streets of Havana. Photograph of a hot pink car angled toward the viewer, with shiny chrome bumper and wide whitewall tires. Palm trees and a pale sky behind are in black and white. A penciled title and signature sit on the mat below. It is 10.5 inches wide and 7.75 high.

Pink this confident does not need a quiet street.
