Peu de gens savent qu’entre 1912 et 1948 des concours olympiques artistiques ont été organisés en parallèle des compétitions sportives. Des artistes – hommes et femmes – s’affrontaient dans cinq disciplines : peinture, sculpture, architecture, littérature et musique. Cet article entend comprendre pourquoi Pierre de Coubertin a créé de telles compétitions, en explorant les liens qu’il entretenait avec le monde de l’art depuis son enfance, en raison de la profession de son père. Sa fréquentation des salons privés permet en outre de préciser le rôle de ces réseaux de sociabilité dans la mise en œuvre concrète de ces épreuves artistiques.
