Niki de Saint Phalle's lithograph "Les Footballeurs", as well as the eponymous sculpture at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, are part of the artist's creative universe, who has often explored themes related to physical power, freedom and the exuberance of human expression through monumental figures.
In “Les Footballeurs”, whether in the form of lithograph or sculpture, Niki de Saint Phalle pays homage to the energy and vitality of sport, particularly football, through rounded shapes and bright colours, characteristic of her unique style. The sculpture, of an imposing size, presents powerful male figures in full movement, capturing the essence of physical activity and performance. This work can be seen as a parallel to the iconic figures of her female “Nanas”, but this time in a masculine context, also symbolizing strength and dynamics, but through the slowness and fluidity of the sporting gesture.
