About the artist: Antonio Seguí, one of the most internationally renowned Argentinian artists, was born in Córdoba in 1934. He studied at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid, Spain, as well as at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. In 1955 he returned to Córdoba, where he studied law and began exhibiting his first paintings. He traveled extensively through South and Central America before moving permanently to France in 1963, where he lived and worked in Arcueil near Paris, until he died in February 2022 in Buenos Aires at the age of 88. Early in his career, Seguís work was close to expressive figuration full of irony. Gradually, his figuration turned to the absurd, and he built a kind of theater, a stage on which a man in motion seeks his place in the world. With charcoal, pastels, pencil or ink, he brings to life a colorful and graphic world that seems to come from the universe of comics, with the entire urban bustle as its backdrop. Seguís works are collected and exhibited worldwide, including MoMA, New York; Art Museum of the Americas, Washington, DC; Frissiras Museum, Athens, Greece; Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, Argentina; Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Austria; Museum of Modern Art Dubrovnik, Croatia; and Museo Tamayo, Mexico City, Mexico. The Musée National d’Art Moderne, Paris organized a 2005 retrospective of his works on paper. His works are in the permanent collections of the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, as well as the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC, to name just a few. About the artwork: Roland Garros is the traditional home of the Internationaux de France held annually; the tennis tournament is 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.
