Louis Garneau creates 100 paintings in 24 hours to support Major Taylor Film 'Whirlwind'

Louis Garneau and his Major Taylor paintings.

Louis Garneau's name is synonymous with cycling thanks to his time on the track and road as a National Champion and Olympic cyclist and, perhaps to an even greater extent, his eponymous apparel brand. Many people don't know that Louis Garneau is also an accomplished artist and uses his paintings to support several cycling-related causes.

Most recently, Garneau has stepped up to support Whirlwind, a movie project spotlighting cycling's first Black World Champion and one of the world's first Black sports superstars: Marshall "Major" Taylor. He's painted 100 art pieces to help make the documentary come alive.
