Vladimir Velickovic was a Serbian painter living in Paris from 1966 until his death.Vladimir Velickovic was the fourth artist the FFT had asked to create the tournament poster. Following on from Valerio Adami, Eduardo Arroyo and French artist Jean-Michel Folon, they decided upon this Belgrade-born artist, who had been awarded a prize at the Biennale de Paris in 1965 and had just been appointed professor at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

An architecture graduate, painter and sculptor, Velickovic came to France in the early 1970s. Here, he developed his own drawing and painting style, though he had a preference for drawing.

At the same time, he discovered the work of motion photographer Eadweard Muybridge, a pioneer in chronophotography like France's Etienne-Jules Marey. It was on the actual Roland Garros site that he studied the running style of humans and animals. This revelation led him to adopt a different approach for depicting movement.
