The 1988 Olympic Games in South Korea took place at a time when the world was on the cusp of tectonic changes. Zao Wou-Ki, a post-war abstraction artist, was entrusted by the Games to create a poster that would encapsulate the Olympic spirit through the form of art. His resulting poster, t🦂itled “Tree of Life,” was inspired by his original painting, 04.10.85. In this masterpiece 04.10.85, Zao Wou-ki’s brushstrokes surge across the canvas with vitality, converging, rising together as one. It epitomizes Olympic spirit and p🅺ost-war abstraction, the pinnacle of human expression in sports and art.
