Running Framed Art

From ancient times, speed was appreciated and the athletes who had both the stamina and ability to sustain long races or fast sprints received the recognition they deserve. The tale of Marathon in which Greek messenger Pheidippides ran all the way to Athens to deliver the news about victory is still a source of inspiration, despite the historic inaccuracies. The 42 km race organized in countless cities all over the world was also inspired by those events and there are framed running posters dedicated to modern athletes.

Olympic track and field events are some of the most popular competitions and the framed running posters capture the runners in starting positions or as they cross the finish line. Running events hosted by charitable organizations or held in an attempt of marking special moments are also gaining traction and attract both professional athletes and amateurs. Some of the posters also contain a motivational message, with determination, challenge and commitment being the ideas conveyed by most of the artwork.
