About the Item
Original 1985 poster by the French artist Jacques Monory for the Roland Garros tennis tournament. Known for his cinematic style and characteristic use of blue tones, Monory was a key figure in the French Narrative Figuration movement—a counterpart to Pop Art that emerged in the 1960s. His contribution to the Roland Garros poster series stands out for its atmospheric depth and striking visual composition, blending sport with the artist's introspective and symbolic aesthetic.
Commissioning contemporary artists to design annual posters became a Roland Garros tradition in 1980, positioning the tournament not only as a major international sporting event but also as a cultural showcase. Monory’s 1985 design captures this dual identity, transforming the tennis court into a dramatic visual stage, imbued with mystery and motion.
This edition is a landmark in the Roland Garros poster series and a rare example of Monory’s engagement with public art. It reflects the vibrant intersection of sport and contemporary visual culture in 1980s France.
