Overview

In this exquisite accordion book, Leonardo's maxims on form, technique, and sensibility are juxtaposed with artist Charles Hobson's pastel-on-monotype images of baseball players caught in the archetypal moments of the game--a pitcher the second after the ball is thrown, an umpire at the moment of decision. The result is a volume that may be read as a book or unfolded to become an intriguingly beautiful panorama--an artwork in itself. These haunting images and the genius of Leonardo will make this evocative tribute to the great American game a captivating gift for baseball and art lovers alike.
