For the 1972 Munich Olympics, Lapicque created one of the official posters. This event marked the first time that the Olympics used a series of posters designed by different artists to represent the Games, showcasing a variety of artistic styles and interpretations of the Olympic spirit. The posters were part of an effort to emphasize the cultural and artistic dimensions of the Olympics alongside the athletic competitions. Charles Lapicque was a French painter and engraver associated with the modern art movement. He was known for his vibrant use of color and dynamic compositions. Lapicque's work often incorporated elements of Fauvism, Cubism, and Expressionism, and he played a significant role in the post-World War II art scene in France. Lapicque's poster stands out not only as a piece of Olympic memorabilia but also as a work of art that captures the essence of the Games through a modernist lens.
