An official poster for the 1932 Los Angeles Olympic Games, by the Hungarian-American artist Julio Kilenyi (1885-1959), signed in the plate, colour lithograph, published by Union Litho Co., L.A., visible image 93 by 59cm., 36 1/2 by 23 1/4im., mounted, framed & glazed, very good condition The unusual three dimensional appearance of the youth in the poster is due to the fact that Kilenyi modelled the figure in clay. This was then photographed, the image coloured and then incorporated into the overall poster design.
