Description : This work by Hank Willis Thomas delves into the social and political history of the 1936 Olympic Games through the figure of Jesse Owens. The sprinter, a hero of the fight against segregation, is depicted in full swing, wearing red and white collaged clothing, against a blue background evoking the colors of the American flag. The print, created using nine layers of UV ink, recreates the dynamic texture of the original work currently on display in Paris, host city of the 2024 Games. This piece celebrates sport as a powerful vehicle for social change and human unity.
