Lithographic poster: 1972 Munich Olympics, signed and dated in plate.
Produced for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, this poster isolates two pairs of athletic legs thrusting forward beneath the Olympic rings, transforming a fleeting gesture of movement into a bold, graphic study of rhythm and form. Jones uses cropped limbs, clean contours, and contrasting colour planes to create a dynamic composition that reads clearly at a distance, while rewarding close examination with the energy and tension of each step.
A leading figure in British Pop Art, Jones was renowned for treating the human body as both object and visual pattern, blending sculptural sensibility with graphic precision. Here, he translates that approach into an Olympic context, turning sport into a formal, almost abstract exploration of motion and energy.
