Bill Larson 1975

"Bill Larson" is a black and white photograph by Mike Mandel, created in 1975. The image features a man in a baseball pose, wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a white t-shirt. The subject is identified in a caption at the bottom, which suggests the work is a portrait. Mandel, known for his conceptual approach, uses this simple image to explore themes of identity and representation, a recurring subject in his work. The photo's mock-documentary style is characteristic of his early career, and the use of a baseball card format suggests the image is part of a larger series.
