Tennis / Suzanne Lenglen / Déro
Robert Décremps, alias DÉRO (1920-2000)
Caricature of Suzanne Lenglen
India ink on paper, signed, captioned
50 x 39 cm
Original illustration for "La Fabuleuse histoire du tennis" by Christian Quidet, published by Odil, 1977 (preface by A. Blondin).
The great player Suzanne Lenglen (1899-1938) inspired Sem, de Fleurac, Thoumazeau and others. Déro surpasses them all, depicting Suzanne flying into eternity. With the headband in place, he evokes the greatest of all time, with two Olympic titles and 81 singles titles. Déro, who revered her, liked to say that there had been talk of her playing in the Davis Cup.
