Exalted in Greco-Roman times, athletes provided artists with models of endurance and form. Whether running, jumping, or throwing, the athlete stood for human achievement at its highest level. Like the works of the ancient Greeks, the athletes depicted by sculptors R. Tait McKenzie (1867-1938) and Joe Brown (1909-1985) are metaphors for human striving and excellence.
