Art in Sport History: A Historical Approach

When we talk about art we often put it into relation with something judged for its aesthetics in regard to its beauty and meaningfulness. Art or more precisely fine arts (visual arts) is a topic very much neglected in sport history.

Although a work of art is an artist's means of expression and his or her construction or interpretations of a moment, a memory, an event, a person etc. it can tell a lot about a time period, its culture and people. Again the viewer has his or her own interpretation.

Throughout time a variety of visual arts that focus on the body, exercise, sporting scenes, individual athletes or sports have been created. So far only rarely have they been viewed as a source for sport historical work nor as a topic in themselves.
For this workshop we invite you to submit papers dealing with one of the following topics under a historical perspective:

- Art as a Source in Sport Historical Research
- Art and Competition (e.g. ´Olympic art competitions´)
- Sporting Bodies as Art
- Art and Sport in Society
- Photography and Sport
- Design and Sport
- Architecture and Sport
