| A painter of sports figures, Stephen Holland, as a young painter, could not afford to hire live models, so the images he found in boxing magazines became his subjects. There he saw the male form in all its power and glory, expressed as contemporary gladiators. The magazine articles conveyed to him the determination and hard work any athlete must have to be a winner. Holland found this an inspiration to himself as an artist. He put as much discipline, devotion and determination into his own work (showing 500 of 1826 characters). |
