Sports

Since its inception, sports art has long been a symbol of American culture and a mainstay of human expression. Paintings, comics, cartoons and illustrations of sports recall the thrill of competition, the simple joy of play or the effort to push the human body to its limits. Artistic renderings of sports inspire and excite. They honor heroes and heroic moments, and visualize the action that is the bedrock activity of millions around the world. They celebrate the beauty of the human form and the joy of movement, the content of conversation, friendly international competition and interracial collaboration.
