Jerry McMillan 1975

"Jerry McMillan" is a 1975 photograph by Mike Mandel, part of his "Baseball Cards" series. The series features black and white portraits of baseball players, presented in the style of trading cards. Mandel's work is characterized by its use of photographic conventions to create ironic and humorous commentary on popular culture. The image of a baseball player, printed in a simple style, raises questions about the nature of representation and the power of images. This photograph is an example of conceptual art, where the idea behind the work is as important as the visual aspect.
