About the Item
This painting was created by Olympic discus thrower Al Oerter for charity for the 1980 Olympics. This and other paintings he made would spark his love for painting, he would continue making art for the rest of his life. He later founded the organization Art of the Olympians, which showcased artwork by Olympians old and new. The charity produced this video about Al Oerter's painting and we can see possibly this very painting being created on Youtube, titled "Art of The Olympians: Al Oerter's very first painting!"
