- Description
- Completed serigraph of Runners, 1971. This is one of many serigraphs John August Swanson completed in 1971 on images of runners, which were all originally untitled and then later all titled, Runners. The photo is from LIFE Magazine of one of Willie May's 110m hurdles time trial from the 1960 Rome Olympics, and the text is from The Times They Are A-Changin' by Bob Dylan. This work was also used as the basis for the poster, The Big Race, 2019.
