Untitled (large corwd of men in sports stadium hallway) c. 1950

Editor: So this is an untitled photograph by Jack Gould, depicting a crowd of men in what appears to be a stadium hallway. The high contrast really gives it an anxious energy, doesn't it? What do you make of it? Curator: Absolutely! It’s like a sea of hats and anticipation, isn’t it? The stark contrast, to me, almost feels like a flashbulb memory. I wonder, what story were these faces telling before the game even started? Editor: That’s beautiful! I was so focused on the claustrophobia; I didn't think about the excitement. Curator: It makes you wonder who they were rooting for, and if their team even won.
