Travel Poster Italy Air France Airline

Original vintage travel advertising poster for flights to Italy for Air France. The artist, Georges Matheiu is considered one of the fathers of European lyrical abstraction, a trend of informalism. Mathieu has been commissioned several advertising campaigns. In 1966 the airlines company Air France ordered Mathieu a series of posters for an advertising campaign. The series featured paintings evocative of some major destinations (New York, Brazil, Japan, Germany...), all in the style of lyrical abstraction, pointed out for the graphical coherence between the countries and their representation. The artwork features an abstract expressionist style drawing of golden lines against a blue background. Good condition, creasing, tears. Country of issue: France, designer: Georges Mathieu, size (cm): 100x60, year of printing: 1960s
