Color Photograph by Manuel Larrañaga Sardiñas: Capitalin Roja, Framed

Rust-red car sits before a grand domed building, which stays in gray.

This framed color photograph is by Capitalin Roja, 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. Upright photograph with a weathered red car in the foreground, its chrome bumper scuffed and plate yellow. Behind it a columned building with a large dome rises under a cloudy sky in black and white tones. It is 12 inches wide and 13.5 high.

The building is grand but the car has the better coat.
