"Legacy Lives On"

Thurmon Munson

Thurman Munson brought a captain’s toughness to the heart of the New York Yankees. The 1970 American League Rookie of the Year and 1976 AL MVP helped lead New York to consecutive World Series championships in 1977 and 1978, combining clutch hitting with three Gold Gloves behind the plate. His direct manner and relentless commitment made him a defining presence in the Yankees’ return to championship baseball. In “Legacy Lives On,” Justyn Farano honors the catcher whose career ended tragically in 1979, but whose number 15 remains inseparable from the team’s history.

Munson’s familiar mustache, backward cap and catcher’s chest protector give the portrait its unmistakable character. Farano places him against a dark, restrained background, concentrating the piece on the watchful intensity of the player Yankees fans remember as their captain.

The philosophy behind my art has always been to make the most compelling, engaging experience for you, the viewer. I try to envision what it was like to compete against that athlete on the field. I want you to feel that grit and rawness of emotion, the athlete’s competitive fire, and passion.

As a perfectionist, my obsession of getting these details precise, takes razor focus, constant critiquing, and fine tuning. It’s not till the painting is complete to my highest of standard, till I am genuinely satisfied.
