of the Negro Leagues" book marked the first time most of the players
ever appeared on a baseball card. Mark Chiarello says he and writer Jack
Morelli were inspired to create the cards when they visited the National
Baseball Museum in Cooperstown, New York where they saw a plaque for a
player they'd never heard of, Judy Johnson. After some research, they
resolved to correct the fact that they and other hardcore baseball fans
knew so little of these great athletes. The cards were expanded into a
book that was rated 2nd of all sports books on Amazon.com in 2007, with
watercolors the New York Times called "evocative". Los Angeles magazine
said of the book, "Mark Chiarello's dreamy watercolor portraits

conveniently forgotten".

for quite some time, but never anything sports related. Mark's Negro
League watercolors are so beautifully executed, it was a perfect fit. He
is more than just a skilled watercolorist, with these pieces he's
captured so much more". A great deal of research was required for these
portraits, and artist Chiarello says he often looked at more than 200
pictures of a player to find the perfect reference to use. Barry's
partner, Leslie Combemale, adds, "Of course they are historically
important, but they definitely stand alone as great art. Many know the
more famous Negro Leaguers, but these illustrations allow collectors to
connect with some of the many unsung heroes who deserve more
recognition. These watercolors offer an opportunity for baseball fans,
art collectors, and history buffs to expand how they see the world, as
the best art always does, and Mark has an encyclopedic knowledge of the
subject. We're proud to have his art in the gallery."
