USSA Sport Art Symposium Feb 24 1989

The USSA Sport and Art Symposium featured notable speakers and artists discussing the intersection of sports and art, with a focus on Greek mythology and its influence on both fields. The event included presentations by Dr. Rosandich, Raymond Burr, and artists Hans Erni and Blair Buswell. Hans Erni, a renowned Swiss artist, demonstrated his artistic process and discussed the mythological themes in his work. Blair Buswell, an American sculptor, shared insights into his sculpting techniques and his contributions to sports art, including his work for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The symposium also celebrated Hans Erni's 80th birthday with a special tribute. (The description was produced by using Generative AI and the video transcript).
