The result is a genuinely hybrid object — Soviet in its production and purpose, Japanese in its visual sensibility — and one of the more unusual artefacts to emerge from the Moscow Games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe historical irony is impossible to ignore. Japan was among the countries that joined the US-led boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics — meaning the artists who designed this poster never saw their work displayed at the Games their own nation refused to attend. That tension between artistic collaboration and political rupture makes this one of the more compelling pieces in the Moscow Games series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtists: Kawadu Hideo, Matsumoto Shigeo, Ishinosawa Harutomo, Kishimoto Ken (Japan)\u003cbr\u003eYear: 1980\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Izdatelstvo Plakat (Plakat Publishing House), Moscow\u003cbr\u003eOccasion: XXII Summer Olympic Games, Moscow\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: USSR (Soviet Union)\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Japanese graphic modernism \/ Soviet sports poster tradition\u003cbr\u003eOriginal Size: 44 × 66 cm (17.3 × 26.0 in)\u003cbr\u003ePrint Size: 18 × 24 in (45.7 × 61 cm) — the closest available standard print size to the original format.
