About the Item

The 1949 original travel poster by Jean Carlu for Pan American World Airways offers a captivating invitation to explore the stunning beauty and sophistication of the French Riviera. Jean Carlu, a renowned French graphic designer and poster artist, was celebrated for his distinctive style characterized by bold geometric forms and dynamic compositions. In this poster, Carlu skillfully captures the allure of the French Riviera as a premier destination for leisure and luxury travel. The poster features a stylized depiction of a glamorous couple disembarking from a Pan American airplane against the backdrop of the Mediterranean coastline. The azure waters, palm trees, and iconic architecture evoke the sun-kissed ambiance and cosmopolitan charm for which the Riviera is renowned. Carlu's use of vibrant colors, sleek lines, and streamlined shapes imbues the poster with a sense of modernity and sophistication, reflecting the glamour and excitement of jet-set travel in the mid-20th century. The bold typography and Pan Am logo prominently displayed convey a sense of confidence and prestige associated with the airline and its role as a gateway to this idyllic destination.
