Additional Information
Olle Hjortzberg's 1911 poster heralded the 1912 Stockholm Games, the first modern contest to carry an official design. The Swedish artist drew his athletes surging forward, wrapped in the streaming flags of many nations, ribbons whipping across a radiant Art Nouveau sky.
Hjortzberg was a painter and teacher in Stockholm, known for murals and religious work as much as design. His poster went out in a dozen languages, though its nearly nude figures were toned down or covered in several countries before the Games opened.
The 1912 Games marked a turning point, with electronic timing, a public address system, and athletes from a record twenty-eight nations. Stockholm built a brick stadium for the event, and Hjortzberg's flag-waving parade set the template every host city would follow.
Today this poster stands as a testament to the birth of the international sporting spectacle and offers a window into the swirling elegance of Art Nouveau at its height. Its rippling banners and marching figures make it a prized showpiece for a study, office, or hall.
