Color Photograph by Manuel Larrañaga Sardiñas: Untitled

Battered blue car sits on a quiet street, nose crumpled and chrome hanging on.

This color photograph is from Cuba, and is contemporary. It is pigment on paper. A pigment print uses archival inks on paper, and it is valued by photographers for stable color and a wide range of tones. Warm-toned color print of a sky-blue vintage car with a dented hood, bright grille and worn paint. Faded buildings with peeling plaster line a narrow street behind. Lettering is faintly visible on the bonnet. It is 12 inches wide and 8 high.

Crumpled, faded, and still the best-dressed thing on the street.
