Notes

Tokyo 2020, art poster created for the Paralympic Games entitled “Paralympian” by GOO CHOKI PAR. In a style reminiscent of futurism, this poster illustrates human aspiration for ceaseless progress to remove physical limitations and handicaps, and to leap over the boundaries of nationalities and genders. The artist’s aim was to represent “the determination of all Paralympians to move forward to a surer future”. Donated by the OCOG
