Capturing the organized nature of the exhibitions at sport and gymnastic festivals, this unknown artist has produced a well balanced, strongly-colored image of athletes. The geometric forms of their bodies inter-link with a precision that bespeaks of the strength and prowess necessary to participate in such an event, and also reflects some of the grace and elegance spectators so admired.
