Description
Bold colours fresh and vibrant as when originally issued
Overall condition: Very good for age
A minor tear at the top edge has been repaired and the poster has been given a conservation wash by one of UK’s leading paper conservators, in the main, to remove soluble pollutants, which if left untreated in a poster, in particular, one printed more than 50 years ago would accelerate its degradation. This first class conservational treatment will ensure that the poster would retain its present condition if professionally framed with museum-quality glass and not
exposed to direct sunlight or put into long-term storage following the specialist guidelines for the storage of posters and prints.
Jacob Lawrence was one of a number of artists who were invited to design posters for the 1972 Olympic Games held in Munich. He was first non-white artist to commissioned by an Olympic Games Committee.
Lawrence created an image to commemorate the involvement of black athletes in the Olympic Games, as track was the field in which they had traditionally excelled.
This striking poster depicts five black runners with grimacing faces take giant strides around a large, curving track as they head toward the finish line.
They hold batons in their hands to show that they are competing in a relay race.
Each athlete is shown with his arms, legs, and head in a slightly different position, one has his head back and his right leg stretched forward, almost straight.
Lawrence used bold colours to depict the runners' stylised faces and legs as well as the repeated shapes of the track.
He combined the flat, simplified shapes and empty spaces of modernism with silhouetted figures and the rhythmic patterns and colours of Harlem scenes. He labelled his pictorial style 'dynamic cubism'.
Lawrence's poster embraces several themes:
a) the intensity of competition in a relay race with invariably dramatic endings;
b) memories of the African American athlete, Jesse Owens...
