About the artist: Hervé Télémaque is regarded as one of the most influential representatives of French Pop Art and figurative contemporary art. Hervé Télémaque, born 1937 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, left his birthplace at age 20 to settle first in the pulsating art metropolis of New York. There he studied at the Art Students League until 1960 and came into contact with the pioneering tendencies of postwar avant-garde, notably Abstract Expressionism and the American-transformed Surrealism of artists such as Arshile Gorky. After completing his studies in 1961, Hervé Télémaque moved to Paris, where he mingled with the Surrealists and, under the influence of that movement, quickly rose to become one of the founders of a new stylistic direction: "Narrative Figuration" or "figuration narrative," which has gone down in history as French Pop Art. A pivotal moment is marked by the year 1964, when American and English-influenced Pop Art made its dramatic debut at the Venice Biennale, leaving the young Hervé Télémaque no small impression. Together with the several years older artist Bernard Rancillac and critic Gérald Gassiot-Talabot, Télémaque then launched a legendary exhibition project: the group show "Mythologies quotidiennes" ("Everyday Mythologies"). Thirty-four modern artists working in a new, pop-figurative and often critically oriented mode formed the germ cell of French Pop Art, a moment in art history to which, in addition to Hervé Télémaque, artists such as Eduardo Arroyo, Valerio Adami, Gilles Aillaud, Erró, Gérard Fromanger and Peter Stämpfli are also attributed. Characteristic of Hervé Télémaque’s work from the Pop era was the depiction of everyday objects; he consistently engaged with painting, graphics and sculpture in addition to early collages and assemblages. Works by the internationally renowned Hervé Télémaque are shown in numerous major museums and collections, including the Arte y Naturaleza Centro De Arte in Madrid, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Museu Berardo in Lisbon and the St. Louis University Museum of Art. Hervé Télémaque passed away in France in 2022. About the artwork: Roland Garros is the traditional home of the annual Internationaux de France; the tennis tournament is worldwide better known as the French Open. This is one of the official posters that were designed and produced each year for the tennis tournament at Roland Garros.
