Author: Manuel Neukirchner (ed.)This catalogue provides a spectacular overview of painting on the theme of football in European artistic modernism. Here, painting gets to the bottom of football’s mystique and vice versa. More than 100 works of art from national and international collections are examined. The catalogue is designed along the same conceptual lines as the European Championship itself: each nation participating in the EURO 2024 is represented by at least one artist.Accessing 20th-century European art through football and deciphering the fascinating as well as contradictory game of football as a European phenomenon through the perspective of modernist painting uncovers new knowledge in both fields.ISBN 9783422801783.
