ABOUT: “Marathon” Official Poster — 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games Designed by American Artist Mark English  - "Marathon" by celebrated American artist Mark English is one of the most iconic and emotionally powerful posters created for the 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games. Commissioned to honor the 100th anniversary of the modern Olympics, this artwork pays tribute to the event that most directly connects the modern Games to their ancient Greek origins - the marathon. A Bridge Between Ancient and Modern Олимpics English masterfully blends classical symbolism with contemporary athletic realism, creating an image that feels both timeless and monumental. The marathon runner is not simply depicted as an athlete, but as a symbol of endurance, sacrifice, and human perseverance - values at the very heart of the Olympic tradition. The artwork reflects the spirit of the original Olympic marathon, evoking history while celebrating modern athletic achievement. Why This Poster Stands Out:  By Renowned Artist Mark English -  Mark English is internationally respected for his ability to merge classical imagery with modern themes. His Olympic works are widely regarded as some of the finest art commissions of the Centennial Games.  Centennial Olympic Significance - Created for the only Olympic Games to mark 100 years of modern competition, this poster holds exceptional historical importance.  The Most Symbolic Olympic Event - The marathon is the ultimate test of endurance and willpower, making this poster one of the most meaningful in the entire Olympic series.  Museum-Quality Fine Art - With its rich composition, dramatic tone, and timeless symbolism, "Marathon" stands as a true fine art piece - not merely sports memorabilia.
