With all the excitement surrounding the 2008 Summer Olympics, somehow I've not watched as much of the games as I would have liked. That's not to say I'm not interested-more that I just have not had the time to spare. Actually I usually prefer the Summer to the Winter Olympic Games. I am still amazed to think that these games first started back in 776 BC. Despite a few periods of on and off again, the modern Olympics continue to flourish today. Spectators still marvel at the human form, and the ability to excel in sport. This was the inspiration for this week's edition of the Sunday Art Review: Olympic Artabove: "Discus Thrower", in marble (Greece)
above: "Discus Thrower", in sand (Beijing)
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed this week's edition.
