About the Item

HEROIC SPIRIT is a hand drawn limited edition lithograph after the sketch by Frederick Hart for his sculpture entitled "Heroic Spirit" created for the 1992 Atlanta Summer Olympics. HEROIC SPIRIT was printed using hand lithography on archival Arches printmaking paper 100% acid free. This very special limited edition lithograph is a tribute to the Olympic Spirit - whose guiding principle/motto is the hendiatris Citius, Altius, Fortius, which is Latin for "Faster, Higher, Stronger". It was proposed by Pierre de Coubertin upon the creation of the International Olympic Committee in 1894. ... Coubertin said " These three words represent a programme of moral beauty. Heroic Spirit, printed in shades of Khaki green gray, black and white, depicts four classic male and female nude figures reaching skyward, expressively drawn in graphite and white pencil, their lifelike human forms achieving the artists intention of Olympian ideals. Print size - 31 x 23.5 inches, unframed, excellent condition, pencil signed by Frederic Hart Edition size - 550 Year published - 1992 Frederick Hart, American sculptor was born in Atlanta Georgia in 1943, died 1999, best known for his public monuments and work in Bronze and Acrylic. Hart is renowned for his Creation Sculpture at the Washington Cathedral in Washington DC and The Three Soldiers located at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in 1984, which is one of the most visited monuments in Washington DC. In 1988 he was the recipient of the quadrennial Presidential Design Excellence Award (Vietnam Memorial work). Both the Vietnam sculpture and his Cathedral work are reflections of a humanist vision of art. Hart has used his celebrity to denounce the decline of moral and aesthetic standards in contemporary art, and to set forth his alternative vision for a "great rebirth of art." That rebirth must begin, Hart says, by rediscovering and renewing the "discarded axioms" and forgotten standards of past art - such as that "ancient trinity of truth, beauty, and goodness," and the idea of art as "service to values and ideals it holds in greater esteem than art itself." Artist statement: “I believe that art has a moral responsibility, that it must pursue something higher than itself. Art must be a part of life. It must exist in the domain of the common man. It must be an enriching, ennobling, and vital partner in the public pursuit of civilization. It should be a majestic presence in everyday life just as it was in the past.”
