ABOUT:   “Olympic Volleyball” Official Poster — 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games By Hiro Yamagata - "Olympic Volleyball" by internationally celebrated artist Hiro Yamagata is one of the most vibrant and forward-looking posters commissioned for the 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games, created to honor the 100th anniversary of the modern Olympic movement. Known for his luminous color, layered imagery, and optimistic vision, Yamagata captures volleyball’s speed, teamwork, and airborne drama in a distinctly contemporary style. Energy Above the Net - Volleyball is a sport defined by elevation, timing, and split-second precision. Yamagata’s composition emphasizes the vertical motion and rhythmic flow of the game—players rising above the court, bodies suspended in motion, and the ball acting as a focal point of collective effort. Rather than literal realism, the artwork conveys the feeling of play - excitement, coordination, and momentum - making the sport feel both accessible and exhilarating. Why This Poster Stands Out: By Renowned Artist Hiro Yamagata - Yamagata is internationally known for his bright, futuristic aesthetic and large-scale public art. His Olympic posters are among the most recognizable and collectible works of the Centennial Games.  A Fast-Growing Global Sport  - By 1996, volleyball had become one of the most widely played and watched Olympic sports worldwide, symbolizing teamwork and international participation.   Centennial Olympic Significance - Produced for the only Olympic Games to celebrate 100 years of modern competition, this poster carries lasting historical and collectible value.   Museum-Quality Contemporary Art - With its bold palette and kinetic composition, Olympic Volleyball functions as both Olympic memorabilia and a striking work of contemporary graphic art.   A Modern Expression of Olympic Teamwork Olympic Volleyball by Hiro Yamagata captures the joy, athleticism, and cooperation that define both the sport and the Olympic spirit. It stands as a bright, optimistic artistic tribute to volleyball and to the global vision of the Atlanta 1996 Centennial Olympic Games.
