1980 Summer Olympics Fencing Poster, Moscow, Soviet Union, XII Olympiad, Modernist, Peace, sporting wall art
This is a beautiful original 1979 design Fencing poster is a fine exampel of Soviet Modernist artwork from the 1980 Moscow Olympics designed by Z. Smekhov and D. Filatov. It shows a crossed pair of fencers foils in a beautiful powdery blue.
Dimensions: 33.5 in x 22.4 in (85 cm x 57 cm)
At the bottom it says in Russian, "Сражаться только в спорте! Battle only in sports!" The poster promotes fencing with two fencing sabres or swords but interestingly the poster also promotes peace in Russian, English and French along the sides of the poster.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm.
These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
