Olympic Poster from Barcelona 92 by Saura Torrente

Olympic Poster from Barcelona 92 by Saura Torrente.
"The graphic proposal of this poster is based on the contraposition of some linear rhythms, of olympic colors. Who want to suggest the idea of speed. Competitiveness and limited effort, inherent in sports, on a sinduous and complex rhythm which, with a range of blue, refers to the mediterranean".   Saura / Torrent

Ever since the first Games of the modern era in Athens in 1896, posters have played an important part in the popularisation of the Olympics. They have also served, once every four years, to identify both the host city and a particular aesthetic linked to the global image of the Games of that year. Bearing this history in mind, COOB'92 developed a highly ambitious project, which involved 58 different posters grouped in four collections: the official Olympic posters, the painters' posters, the designers' posters and the photographic sports posters.

For the four official sports posters (the work of Josep M. Trias, Javier Mariscal, Enric Satué and Antoni Tàpies) and the eight painters' posters (by Eduardo Arroyo, Antoni Clave, Eduardo Chillida, Jean-Michel Folon, Josep Guinovart, Robert Llimós, Guillermo Pérez Villalta and Antonio Saura), in addition to the normal print run there was a limited edition in silk-screen and lithograph signed by the authors, which COOB'92 used as prestige gifts for the VIPs who visited Barcelona.
