"Doug Stewart" is a black and white photograph by Mike Mandel, taken in 1975. Mandel, a conceptual artist, is known for his work that challenges the conventions of photography. This piece, part of the "Baseball Cards" series, subverts the typical baseball card format by portraying an unknown individual with a baseball glove, blurring the line between amateur and professional photography. The photo's small size and simple presentation create a sense of intimacy, inviting viewers to contemplate the subject's identity and the meaning behind their portrayal.
