Research Notes

Notes

From historic photos, this work seems to reverse the perspective of an otherwise apparently identical painting, "Batter Up," exhibited by the artist at the First Central City Artists & Craftsmen Association exhibition at Milwaukee Public Library, Central Library, 1976. Black and white photo is available in Milwaukee Public Library Publications & Exhibits Collection, Milwaukee Public Library Archival Records 8, Box 9, Folder 13.
