The Speed Skater 303 (Trial Proof) was created by Andy Warhol in honor of the 1984 Olympic Winter Games. After the print was completed, the image was made into a poster that was seen all over Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, where the Olympic Games were being held. By layering different colors on top of each other, Warhol is able to form a black square from which the skater seems to be skating away. This style of coloring, as well as Warhol’s use of line on the skater ultimately creates a sense of depth and motion. This skater appears to be skating out of the layered colors, in motion indefinitely.
