In Louis Malle Practice, a male tennis player is depicted in a moment of leisure. He seems to be watching a game of tennis that is out of frame, implied by the white horizontal line crossing the top of the composition. This project also commemorates the seventy-fifth anniversary of Althea Gibson breaking the color barrier by becoming, in 1950, the first Black athlete to compete in the US Nationals (the precursor to the US Open) in Forest Hills, Queens. The title of the work references sunny, nuanced, and sensitive French cinema, like that of director Louis Malle.
