At all times, painters have depicted the greatest victories of their contemporaries or great historical figures, be it the hunt of primitive people for mammoths or the passage of Suvorov across the Alps. But in today's world, sports are much more than wars. That is why the American artist Tim Tadder creates pictures, the plots of which are based on sports, not on war.
High achievements have always been interesting to people, the ideology of states has always been built on them. And if earlier achievements were, first of all, victories in wars or battles, now - in sports.
After all, the overwhelming majority of modern states do not wage war. And the wars themselves in our times are perceived as something shameful and wrong. Therefore, competitions both between healthy, strong young people and between states and ideologies take place in sports arenas.
And it is them that the American artist Tim Taidder is trying to capture in his paintings. He has two large series of works on swimming and football.
To begin with, Tim Taidder takes photographs of some interesting, exciting moment in these sports. And then he transfers these photographs to the canvas. The result is paintings depicting modern heroes who bring glory to themselves, their club, their country.
And are they worse, are they less worthy of being portrayed at the moment of their triumph than the generals? Even better! Indeed, in order for them to receive a medal or order, they do not need to kill anyone, they do not need to send people to death.
