Acrylic Paint

This dynamic painting is of a match between the world famous boxers Ingemar Johansson and Floyd Patterson. Having fought for the World Heavyweight Championship in 1959 with Johansson the victor, the two squared off two additional times in 1960 and 1961. Based on photos from the bout, it is believed that this painting depicts their final match-up in 1961. Using a technique similar to chiaroscuro, the stark lighting adds to the sense of drama and suspense. Signed and dated by the artist.
