C. Villars
Gouache Drawing Aviation Airline Project by C. Villars

circa 1940

About the Item

This original Post-war illustration-drawing hand-painted with gouache on Arches Velum paper is by French artist C. Villars (France, 20th Century). The poster project features a woman in travel clothes sitting on a magic carpet with all her suitcases. Below the carpet, we guess a plane in the air. This drawing was created for an airline company called STAR. The illustration is signed C. Villars in the bottom left corner. This image was probably later printed in a larger size for ad posters, but this is the original painting by the poster designer. The drawing is displayed in a modern black wood frame with a silver accent, an off-white mat, and glass protection. Measurements: With frame: 14 in wide (35.5 cm) x 14 in high (35.5 cm). Opening view: 6.50 in wide (16.5 cm) x 7.88 in high (20 cm). Drawing size: 4.75 in wide (12 cm) x 6.13 in high (15.5 cm). Please check our storefront for more drawings from this artist, and see the last ambiance pictures for ideas of grouping. Note: C. Villars (20th Century) was a French painter, decorator, and illustrator who regularly contributed to French magazines for illustrations and ads. He is renowned for his distinctively sophisticated design, which combines Art Deco and Modern elements to create costumes and décor for French businesses, particularly in the travel and aviation industries.
