ABOUT: “Passage to Savannah” Official 1996 Centennial Olympic Games Poster By André Bourrie. "Passage to Savannah" is one of the most evocative and contemplative posters commissioned for the 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games, created by internationally respected artist André Bourrie. Rather than depicting athletic competition directly, Bourrie chose a more profound and symbolic approach - capturing the journey, heritage, and global connection that define the Olympic spirit. A Visual Journey Through History.  The poster portrays a maritime passage into Savannah, Georgia, one of America’s most historic port cities. Through layered imagery, softened light, and architectural detail, Bourrie evokes themes of arrival, movement, and cultural exchange - all central to both Savannah’s legacy and the Olympic Games themselves. This work speaks not to a single sport, but to the centuries of travel, trade, and human connection that make global gatherings like the Olympics possible. Why This Poster Is Special:  Centennial Olympic Significance Created for the 100th anniversary of the modern Olympic Games, this poster belongs to a historic and finite moment in Olympic history. Fine Art Over Sports Illustration Unlike many Olympic posters focused on motion or competition, "Passage to Savannah" stands as a museum-quality fine art print, appealing equally to art collectors and Olympic historians. Symbolism & Storytelling The harbor imagery represents gateways - between nations, cultures, and eras - making the piece timeless and intellectually rich.  Architectural & Cultural Depth Savannah’s historic port serves as both subject and metaphor, grounding the Olympic celebration in regional identity while maintaining global relevance.
