His love of art and literature became evident early. During a long period of recovery from a lung illness, Tàpies began to paint and draw. In 1944 he began a law degree, which he abandoned in 1946 to devote himself entirely to art. His early paintings still drew on the works of artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, and Joan Miró. After a surrealist and dadaist phase, his works became increasingly abstract. In 1947 the painting “Zoom” was created, a work that would presage his later oeuvre. In 1948, together with others, he founded the artists’ group “Dau al Set,” of which he became the leading representative. In 1950 Antoni Tàpies received a grant from the French government that enabled him to stay in Paris. Also in 1950, the first solo exhibition took place in Barcelona. In 1951 Tàpies traveled to Belgium and the Netherlands. In 1953 he spent a short time in New York, where an exhibition of his works took place. In 1958 he participated in the Venice Biennale and gained international recognition. He was represented at the documenta in Kassel in 1959, 1964, 1968 and 1977. Antoni Tàpies was regarded as the most important representative of Spanish Informal. He mixed sand, cement, marble dust, and glue into his paintings. He scratched away paint and applied it again until the surface resembled weathered masonry. Throughout his life, Tàpies engaged deeply with Eastern philosophies. In his search for expression, he integrated individual letters, signs, crosses, and even objects or garments. Antoni Tàpies’s material and wall works appear mysterious, meditative. He himself did not describe himself as an abstract artist but as a realist who strives to make reality comprehensible in his works. In 1984, Antoni Tàpies founded the “Fundació Antoni Tàpies” in Barcelona. The artist passed away on 6 February 2012 in Barcelona. About the artwork: Roland Garros is the traditional home of the annual Internationaux de France; the tennis tournament is better known worldwide as the French Open. This is one of the official posters that were designed and produced each year for the Roland Garros tennis tournament.
