Moore, celebrated for his monumental bronzes and expressive drawings, here translates his sculptural language into a powerful two-dimensional composition. The poster depicts six abstracted heads, arranged vertically in pairs, rendered with bold strokes and deep textural contrasts. These heads, with their solemn and timeless aura, recall Moore’s fascination with primal forms, human universality, and the endurance of the human spirit. The imagery resonates with the Olympic ideals of resilience, community, and continuity across cultures. Commissioned by the International Olympic Committee, this edition forms part of the prestigious series of Olympic art posters, where Moore’s contribution stands alongside those of Andy Warhol, David Hockney, James Rosenquist, and Cy Twombly. Limited edition of 1000. Very good condition. See less
