The Piece
This original vintage poster was designed by the renowned American artist Jacob Lawrence for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. The artwork features a dynamic depiction of relay runners passing batons on a curved track, rendered in Lawrence's signature style of expressive, flat shapes and vibrant colors. The composition contrasts the athletes' movement against a stylized green and grey background, sitting above the official typography and spiral logo of the 1972 Games.
