Beaumont Newhall 1975

"Beaumont Newhall" (1975) is a black and white photograph by Mike Mandel. The image shows a man wearing a catcher's mask and holding a large black shield in front of his body. The man is smiling and looking directly at the viewer. Mandel's work often explores themes of identity, representation, and the constructed nature of reality. This photograph is a part of his larger series "The World's Fair," which documents the various exhibitions and pavilions of the 1974 World's Fair in Spokane, Washington.
