EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A human bow hovering between two chairs and a motorcycle that passes under it in speed" by Achille Beltrame takes us back to the thrilling atmosphere of a Parisian velodrome in 1933. The image captures the latest gimmick of two sports acrobats, showcasing their incredible skill and daring stunts. In this heart-stopping moment frozen in time, we witness a human arc suspended between two chairs while a speeding motorcycle zooms underneath. The crowd watches with bated breath as these fearless performers push the boundaries of what seems possible. One slight misstep could lead to disaster, adding an element of danger that heightens the excitement for both spectators and participants alike. Beltrame's illustration perfectly encapsulates the thrill experienced by those present at this event. It highlights how even a small shift or momentary distraction can turn an impressive exercise into a catastrophic failure. The artist's attention to detail brings every aspect of this scene to life – from the expressions on people's faces in the stands to the precision required by both stuntmen involved. This artwork not only showcases extraordinary physical feats but also serves as a testament to human resilience and determination. It reminds us that sometimes it is through taking risks and pushing our limits that we discover new heights of achievement.
