The Swedish artist drew his athletes surging forward, wrapped in the streaming flags of many nations, ribbons whipping across a radiant Art Nouveau sky.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHjortzberg 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday 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.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"8x12 Inch","offer_id":68263629291709,"sku":"ENTP0133_0812P","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11x17 Inch","offer_id":68263629324477,"sku":"ENTP0133_1117P","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x24 Inch","offer_id":68263629357245,"sku":"ENTP0133_1624P","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/1rWFIxVqVKeyM3PJAYgIZHTszU_4yKAdA_w1000.jpg?v=1794464811","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/products\/1911-sweden-track-and-field-athletics-poster","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
