The world's most popular sport, soccer, has long been celebrated as
"the beautiful game" for its artistry and aesthetic appeal.
Picturing the Beautiful Game: A History of Soccer in Visual Culture
and Art is the first collection to examine the rich visual culture
of soccer, including the fine arts, design, and mass media.
Covering a range of topics related to the game's imagery, this
volume investigates the ways soccer has been promoted,
commemorated, and contested in visual terms. Throughout various
mediums and formats-including illustrated newspapers, modern
posters, and contemporary artworks-soccer has come to represent
issues relating to identity, politics, and globalization. As the
contributors to this collection suggest, these representations of
the game reflect society and soccer's place in our collective
imagination. Perspectives from a range of fields including art
history, sociology, sport history, and media studies enrich the
volume, affording a multifaceted visual history of the beautiful
game.
