Created by the Slovenian painter Gabriel Stupica, one of the foremost representatives of post-war Yugoslav modernism, this evocative composition was commissioned for the XIV Olympic Winter Games, Sarajevo 1984 (Yugoslavia). Executed in Stupica’s distinctive lyrical and figurative style, the work depicts a dynamic, dreamlike athlete in motion, surrounded by abstract Olympic rings, against a vaporous lavender and blue background. The piece encapsulates both the energy of winter sports and the poetic sensibility of Stupica’s artistic vision. Stupica, a member of the Ljubljana School of Graphic Arts and a central figure in Slovenian modern painting, was internationally recognized for his psychologically charged and symbolist works. His contribution to the Sarajevo Olympic poster series reflects both the optimism of the Games and the avant-garde tendencies of Yugoslav art in the 1980s. Very good condition. See less
