E. John B. Allen is the most recognized ski (art) historian in the world. For this book he has
made an exclusive selection of international artists from 11 countries. The thirty-six images
of skiing paintings drawings lithographs and caricatures span the years from 1867 to the
early twenty-first century. They illustrate the art of skiing in its many forms. The texts give
the social political and economic background. Artists such as Edvard Munch Roger Broders
Achille Beltram or the Austrians Dietmar Kainrath Max Basis or Johannes Troyer are represented
in this volume with their interpretations of skiing.
