David Diehl: Icons: A Directory of Canonizations Around the Turn of the Millenium

by David Diehl

Saintlike portraits of soccer stars that play on the relationship between the church and sports

Few things are more exalted than a great athlete, and the Icons paintings by David Diehl (born 1976) emphasize this parareligious worship to fanatical effect. Comprising over 70 portraits of haloed soccer players from S crates to Maradona, the series applies a hagiographical treatment to secular heroes.
