About the Item
This striking 1979 original poster was created in anticipation of the XXII Olympic Games, held in Moscow in 1980. With bold Soviet-era graphic design, the image captures the triumphant energy of the Olympic spirit, featuring a determined torchbearer running through a stylized track.
The composition reflects the USSR’s emphasis on athleticism and national pride, with strong, simplified forms and a limited but powerful color palette. The red uniform, adorned with the official Moscow 1980 Olympic emblem, contrasts sharply against the grey and white tones, while the Olympic torch blazes in vivid hues, symbolizing the unity and competitive spirit of the Games.
This vintage piece serves as a lasting tribute to the historic event, remembered both for its athletic achievements and the geopolitical context of the Cold War era, including the U.S.-led boycott. Today, it remains a sought-after collectible for sports history enthusiasts and vintage poster collectors alike.
