Nate90 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Any examples of Rugby League and art over the years? The first one that comes to mind for me is L.S. Lowry's 'Coming from the Match', in which the fans are walking onto the streets from Rochdale's old ground The Athletics Grounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled Townie Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Wasn't there a series of 'art deco' style paintings/posters that appeared on the London tube during 1930's advertising the Challenge Cup. I heard they have been classed as a 'collection' in their own right. Jam Eater 1.(noun. jam eeter) A Resident of Whitehaven or Workington. Offensive. It is now a term of abuse that both towns of West Cumbria use for each other especially at Workington/Whitehaven rugby league derby matches.

Yikes, it's like they've pinched someone else's style and applied it, badly, to bits of Australiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M j M Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 The Lowry and tube posters are great albeit generic to their type. But Rugby League is art and is real so those attempting to capture it face a tricky task. IMO the gritty reality of this sport is something best portrayed in still photographs rather than conventional artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
