Freed was vacationing in Greece in 1975 when he spotted these Stone Throwing Athletes // Leonard Freed's Mykonos Athletes (1975) is a compelling black-and-white photograph that captures an impromptu scene of athleticism and freedom on a beach in Mykonos, Greece. The archival print presents two nude figures engaged in a dynamic stone-throwing stance, embodying both grace and strength against a backdrop of rugged hills and scattered beachgoers. The photograph’s composition balances movement with stillness, as the active figures stand in contrast to the relaxed onlookers in the background. Freed’s choice of black-and-white enhances the timeless quality of the image, highlighting the contrasts in light and shadow, and imbuing the scene with a raw, unfiltered authenticity. This work reflects Freed’s keen eye for spontaneous human expression and the natural beauty of the Greek landscape.

What is activist art?
Activist Art is a form of art created to address social and political issues. It often involves public engagement and works closely with communities to raise awareness or inspire change. While it can include elements of performance art, it is not limited to this form. Examples include creating and distributing social protest posters or organizing community-based art projects that highlight specific causes.
