Description
Atlanta 1996. Michael Johnson, 200m © Bruno Fablet/L'Équipe 1 August 1996. Michael Johnson had already won Olympic gold medals (the 4x400m in 1992, the 400m two days earlier), and he would win more (the 400m in 2000). But the 200m title he won by smashing a 16-year-old world record in 19.32 seconds is perhaps the most beautiful, the most important, the most historic, and justifies the gesture which shows both relief and the certainty of having accomplished an exploit. What did the 28-year-old American feel during the race? The same feeling as when he was racing down the slopes in a child's go-kart. Single later print. Edition 1/1. Printed on Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin 300g paper. Flamant art frame. 40 x 60 cm
