"Boxers", a 1944 lithograph by George J. Marinko, depicts two boxers locked in a fierce and dynamic struggle. The artist uses bold lines and chiaroscuro to highlight the intense energy and physicality of the sport. The composition, set within an irregular frame, creates a sense of claustrophobia, mirroring the close-quarters nature of boxing. This image captures the power and drama of the sport in a powerful and graphic style, making it a captivating piece for art enthusiasts and sports fans alike.
