In honor of the many baseball fans in my life, I went again this year to see George Krevsky’s (14) annual fan-fest, “The Fine Art of Baseball,” at his gallery at 77 Geary Street. (Through May 28.) Being a generalist in the baseball department, I found the work to be reassuringly familiar (which is certainly part of baseball’s appeal). The main change from years past is that – with the home team having won the 2010 World Series – there was a lot of orange-and-black. My favorite work was a watercolor that both captured the blurred speed of a batter’s swing and froze his posture in the manner of a stop-action freeze-frame. Fan or not, any artist can admire this study of the body in motion.
