ABOUT THIS WORK
A frozen moment from one of baseball’s most enduring plays. Willie Mays’ legendary over-the-shoulder catch is rendered as a study in movement, anticipation and split-second precision. For those who recognize the moment, the painting seems to unfold like a short film—replaying the flight of the ball, the catch and its immediate aftermath. For everyone else, the image stands as a powerful study of motion and athletic grace.
