About the Item

Mathieu's 1967 Air France Paris poster is a visual masterpiece that effortlessly transports us to an era of timeless elegance and sophistication. This iconic poster captures the allure of air travel in the late 1960s and is part of a remarkable series initiated by Pierre Sautet, the Deputy Commercial Director of Air France. Mathieu, who began his work on these posters a year earlier, completed this series in 1967. The collaboration between art and advertising led to the unveiling of these posters on October 26, 1967, at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Mathieu, an accomplished artist and designer, was celebrated for his ability to infuse simplicity and elegance into his creations. His work is a testament to the power of visual aesthetics, where every detail serves to convey a sense of luxury and beauty. Mathieu's poster serves as a portal to the golden age of air travel in the late 1960s. The artwork features a chic and fashionable woman, the embodiment of sophistication, as she prepares to board an Air France flight to Paris. The composition radiates elegance, highlighting the glamour that was synonymous with air travel during that era. Airline - Tourism - France Draeger Frères Paris
