Olympic poster

08-20-2018 Hello everyone! You know, being an artist, I almost always work alone. And don't get me wrong: I wouldn't have it any other way. What I do like to do though, is read or listen to interviews with other artists. In a way, that makes me feel that I have colleagues, company. It is nice to hear that everybody is struggling with their own problems and coming to solutions, which sometimes I would never have thought of. Or how everybody has things that you always forget and have to learn time and time again. Like that artist that said that after thirty years of drawing people, he still had to check his own feet every time, to find out which ankle was lowest: the inner or the outer one.

In the update of today, I have portrayed a woman running. Now, I have learned a long time ago that when the left foot goes forward, the left arm has to go backward. But that brought to mind a funny mistake that an artist had made in 1928. In that year, the summer Olympics were held in Amsterdam, and as always, there was an iconic poster made for the occasion. It was of an athlete running around the bend on a track. The only thing was, his left arm and leg were thrust forward at the same time. He was an ambler. Luckily, the organization noticed the mistake in time, and in all haste, a new poster was designed. But the funny part is that the first designer has never apologized for his mistake. Until his death in 1970, he insisted that his poster had been based on the practices from the ancient Olympics, in which, he stated, the athletes actually DID run in this way.
It was a bit like the Madam President cover of Newsweek, I guess.
