Arnold Crane 1975

"Arnold Crane" is a black and white photograph by Mike Mandel, taken in 1975, which features a man in a baseball cap, swinging a baseball bat. This photograph, part of a series of photographs depicting people from the artist's personal life, is reminiscent of baseball cards. The use of a simple black and white aesthetic and a portrait format further enhances this effect, while the inclusion of the man's name at the bottom of the image reinforces this connection to the world of sports memorabilia.
