FLAIR ACROSS AMERICA
A MONUMENTAL BRONZE FOR THE 1996 OLYMPICS
BY RICHARD MACDONALD
When athletes from around the world gathered for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia, their
determination, struggle and endurance was reflected in the monumental sculpture that was independently
undertaken by internationally known artist, Richard MacDonald. MacDonald’s mission was to celebrate
all that is best in humanity through his art. The 21-feet high heroic bronze, “The Gymnast,” epitomizes
the Olympic credo. “The essence lies not in the victory, but in the struggle.”
