How well do you know about art?
It is a hard question because no matter how much you learn, something interesting and new pokes up every day. And this is why, today, we will be listing down one such interesting fact about Art that you probably didn’t know. So without further ado, here goes.
Art used to be an Olympic Event.
The original founder of the Modern Game, the Baron Pierre de Coubertin had the idea that a true Olympian should be a talented sportsperson as well as an artist. As a result, between 1912 and 1948, medals were given out for sport-inspired artworks. This included artworks such as architecture, music, painting, sculpture and literature.
The Olympics, however, evolved over the years into a sport-only event and artists no longer received medals.
