“The above is not a portrait of a footballer, clearly, but rather the West Indian cricket player Daniel Lara. The painting is by Goan artist Yolanda Sousa Hammermeier. I love it, just for the colors & graphic sensibilities. She’s also done fantastic paintings in response to 2002 World Cup matches. Turns out she made headlines in the late 70s and (very) early 80s as a prolific striker – I came across her name as I was looking for women footballers in Goa, and was thrilled to learn she was also an artist.” (From A Left Wing)
