Jean Jacoby is the only artist to win two gold medals. He won his second with the above drawing, titled Rugby.
Did you know that there was a time that artists, musicians, architects, writers, etc. competed in the Summer games? I didn’t! Amazing. I just read an article about it where they competed from 1912 – 1948. Here is some info about it.
And click here for more info including a list of winners including the following categories: mixed architecture, town planning, dramatic literature, mixed music, composition for orchestra, drawing and watercolors, paintings, and mixed sculpturing.
Fascinating!
