About the artist: Hervé Télémaque is regarded as one of the most influential figures of French Pop Art and figurative contemporary art. Hervé Télémaque was born in 1937 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and left his birthplace at the age of 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 pioneering postwar avant-garde tendencies, notably Abstract Expressionism and the American-transformed Surrealism, 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 this movement, soon rose to 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 key moment marks the year 1964, when Pop Art of American and English imprint had its first and dazzling appearance at the Venice Biennale, which did not fail to impress the young Hervé Télémaque. Together with the somewhat older artist colleague Bernard Rancillac and the critic Gérald Gassiot-Talabot, Télémaque then launched a legendary exhibition project: the group show "Mythologies quotidiennes" ("Everyday Mythologies"). 34 modern artists, working in a new, pop-figurative and often also critical mode, were united here as the germ cells of French Pop Art, a stylistic era to which, besides Hervé Télémaque himself, artists such as Eduardo Arroyo, Valerio Adami, Gilles Aillaud, Erró, Gérard Fromanger and Peter Stämpfli are attributed. Characteristic of Hervé Télémaque's oeuvre of the Pop era was the depiction of everyday objects; genre-specific, he devoted himself, in addition to early collages and assemblages, to painting, graphics and sculpture in a meaningful way. Works by the internationally renowned Hervé Télémaque are shown in numerous important 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 died in 2022 in France. About the artwork: Roland Garros is the traditional home of the Internationaux de France, the tennis tournament better known worldwide as the French Open. This is one of the official posters that were designed and created each year for the tennis tournament at Roland Garros.
