Notes

So that the sports posters of the 1972 Games in Munich could be understood internationally, the artists adhered to movements typical of certain sports and simplified shapes and colours. The associations drawn from the colours and shapes, the movement from left to right and the horizontal lines gave each poster a specific feel.
