Color Photograph by Manuel Larrañaga Sardiñas: Studebaker, Framed

Black car with a star-shaped nose ornament scowls up the lane in monochrome.

This framed color photograph is from Cuba, and is contemporary. It is pigment on paper. Pigment prints are made with pigment-based inks on paper, a process generally chosen for stable colour and fine tonal detail in contemporary photography. Black and white photograph of a dark car seen head-on, with a round chrome emblem at the center of its nose and heavy bumper. The plate is a hint of yellow. A narrow street and tall windows recede behind it. It is 13.5 inches wide and 12 high.

Even in gray it manages an air of mild menace.
