Dallas man to make murals for Olympic games
DALLAS (AP) — Of the many
images and memories that will out
last next month’s Olympics, some of
the most enduring may be those of
Dallas artist Bart Forbes.
A 49-year-old illustrator whose
realistic depictions have been on the
covers of TIME, Sports Illustrated
and dozens of other magazines,
Forbes was chosen by the Korean
Olympic Committee as official artist
of the summer games.
He was commissioned to finish 12
paintings before going to Seoul next
month and will paint about 20 more
for a museum that will commem
orate the games.
But Forbes’ Olympic art is readily
available for viewing in the United
States right now.
The U.S. Postal Service chose de
signs he submitted for both the 1988
Winter and Summer Olympic com-
memoratives. The summer stamp
will be issued at the U.S. Olympic
Training Center in Colorado
Springs, Colo., Friday.
“I like to work on a variety of dif
ferent things,” he said. “As an illus
trator, you’re called on to do some
thing tomorrow that may be a
subject you haven’t done before.
And I like that. That’s a way of stay
ing fresh.”
A golfer and sometime-tennis
player, Forbes says he’s not an ath
lete, but his studio in a renovated
century-old two-story building in
Dallas’ arts district is trimmed with
old baseballs, hats and other sports
paraphernalia.
“Sports is a subject matter I like to
do,” Forbes said, calling the Olym
pics assignment a career highlight.
“It’s fun. It’s exciting and timely.”
“I don’t want to get caught doing
Finish-line illustrations,” Forbes said
of the typical sporting event depic
tion.
Timely but not dated. Forbes be
lieves well done art is timeless.
“The crux for any painter or illus
trator is not being satisfied with the
first or most obvious solution,” he
said. The challenge, he continued, is
to portray the human spirit of the
games, how athletes respond to
enormous pressure, for instance.
“Many of the athletes train fot
years for just one shot. It’s an increi
ible event. Sure, there are some
are just glad they made it to
Olympics, but for so many they'i
there for only one thing: ;
medal.”
In all, Forbes will create an
nal work depicting each Olympi
event as well as the opening and cb
ing ceremonies.
