1999 Roland-Garros magnet by Antonio SEGUI

The official 1999 Roland-Garros poster, created by Antonio Seguí, an Argentine artist known for his expressive and humorous world, stands out for its narrative and figurative approach. Unlike abstraction, Seguí populates his work with colorful characters inspired by comic strips. For this edition, he chose to highlight the umpire and the crowd, two fundamental elements of the tournament often absent from previous posters. The artist explains: "I represented the umpire as seen in television shots where you see spectators turning their heads from left to right to follow the balls..." This bustling, lively scene captures the unique atmosphere of the Roland-Garros stands while paying tribute to the collective and popular dimension of tennis. The 1999 poster thus stands as a vibrant nod to all those who bring the tournament to life.
