An Unfolded Special Poster (measures 22 1/2" x 101 1/4" [57 x 257 cm]) (Learn More) The 1980 Summer Olympics (officially known as the Games of the XXII Olympiad) was an international multi-sport event held in Moscow, Russia. The mascot of the games was Mishka/Misha, a bear drawn by children's books illustrator Victor Chizhikov. They were the first Olympic Games to be staged in Eastern Europe (and a socialist country), and remains the only Summer Olympics held there. Led by the United States, 65 countries boycotted the games because of the Soviet war in Afghanistan, though some athletes from boycotting countries participated in the games under the Olympic Flag. This prompted the Soviet-led boycott of the 1984 Summer Olympics. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that silkscreen (also known as screen printing) is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a poster. Only one color is printed at a time, so several screens must be used to produce a multicolored design, and it is a laborious technique because it is traditionally all done by hand. Because of the rich thickness of the layer of color on the paper and the resulting depth and brilliance achieved through silkscreen printing, this technique was preferred by many artists throughout many cultures and periods. Note also that this special poster was printed in 3 sections designed to overlap. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
