Description

Montreal 1976. Newhouse-Juantorena, 400m © Robert Legros/L'Équipe July 29, 1976. With great strides and power, as always, Alberto Juantorena caught up with the American Fred Newhouse, who was ahead of him at the end of the last bend of the 400m. Four days after his victory and world record in the 800m, he signed a double that had never been done before and has never been equalled since. In the stadiums, the favourites of "El Caballo" (The Horse), who dedicated his victories to the "Cuban revolution", became as famous as Fidel Castro's beard. Single later print. Edition 1/1. Black and white piezographic print on Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin 300g paper. Flamant art frame. 53 X 80 cm
