About the Item
"Girls Play to Win" is a diptych honoring the poise and strength of the first women's American Baseball league. The AAGPBL (All American Girls Professional Baseball League) was established during America's involvement in WW ll when there was a shortage of men players.
The art depicts Carolina Morris (left) pitcher for Rockford Peaches and Anastasia Batkis, outfielder for the Racine Belles. Both reflect the bravado of a league that played hard and although they sadly vanished in time, the fiery spirit of the AAGPBL has had a positive impact on how girls participate more seriously in sports today.
Philomena Marano is known for her acclaimed cut paper and print series on Coney Island and other favorite images of popular culture including baseball and urban themes.
The artwork is :acrylic paint on circle canvas which is mounted on a square canvas. The white ghostly figure is a hand cut paper cut out adhered to the canvas and coated with an acrylic matte medium.

Philomena Marano
Philomena was raised in Brooklyn, just a stone’s throw from America’s most famous amusement park, Coney Island. She is most known for cut paper collage and limited edition prints in her acclaimed collection, “American-Dream-Land” in which she depicts both personal and universal themes in the rides, signs and attractions of her childhood playground. In 2017 , a move to Florida shifted her attention to the circus thrill shows of Sarasota. The precision, exhilaration and wonder embedded in the spectacle of these performances were a definite reminder of the fun and danger of the wondrous mechanical constructions in Coney Island; a continuity of earlier sensibilities. She acquired and honed her cut paper skills while working as an assistant to preeminent artist Robert Indiana in his New York studio on a prodigious cut paper project rendering set and costume designs for “The Mother of Us All”, Santa Fe Opera. In 2020, she was invited to give artist talks at the MFA St. Pete’s, FL. on her experiences working on the project in an exhibition titled: Art of the Stage: Picasso to Hockney where many of Indiana’s stage designs from “Mother” were displayed. Marano is co-founder of the Coney Island Hysterical Society, earned a BFA from Pratt Institute , and has been included in numerous galleries including Tabla Rasa Gallery, Brooklyn ,NY, ACA Gallery, NY, New York, Deutsche Bank, NY, New York, The DeLand Museum of Art, FL., Ringling College of Art & Design, Sarasota, FL., and the Art Center Sarasota.
Her work is featured in Charles Denson’s book, “Coney Island, Lost and Found,”
Ten Speed Press, 2002, SRQ magazine, 2021 , Luxe Interior + Design, 2021, Between 2Two Shores, a UK based Literary & Art publication, 2021, among others
and is in many private and corporate collections including the Brooklyn Museum.
