Overview
Sporting subjects were a common theme in the prints of Grosvenor School artists. The winter sports of ice hockey and skiing were natural subjects for the Swiss artist Lill Tschudi.
The suggestion of frozen movement in many of these prints recalls the high-speed freeze-frame technique of sports photography found in newspapers and magazines of the period.
