EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant era of Jai Alai, circa 1950. The image showcases a male player engaged in this unique ball game, which originated from Mexico and Central America. Dressed in traditional attire, the player wears a basket-like glove called cesta on his right hand as he skillfully maneuvers across the court. Capturing a moment frozen in time, the photograph highlights the athleticism and grace required to excel at Jai Alai. With his left hand guiding and supporting the cesta, the player contorts his body like a dancer in an attempt to catch the fast-moving ball. The intensity is palpable as he focuses solely on achieving that perfect catch. Presented in square format with striking contrasts of light and shadow, this monochromatic composition adds depth and nostalgia to its subject matter. It not only celebrates sports but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity when it comes to inventing sporting oddities. George Pickow's masterful lens captures both the physicality of sport and cultural significance embedded within it. This remarkable piece invites viewers into an enchanting world where ancient traditions meet modern competition – reminding us that sports have always been an integral part of our collective history across North America and Latin America.
