Untitled (two Cardinal baseball players, one catching ball) 1961

Editor: So, here we have an untitled photograph by Jack Gould, showing two Cardinal baseball players, one catching the ball. It feels like such a classic American image. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It’s funny, isn't it? This image captures such a specific, fleeting moment, yet it evokes something timeless about the game. Baseball is America's pastime, you know? Editor: Right! Curator: The composition, with the bright sky and the figures frozen in action, it almost feels like a stage. Do you get that sense? Editor: I do. It's as if they are performing for us. Thanks for pointing that out. Curator: My pleasure!
