About the Item
Original poster by Roger Bezombes for Air France and gastronomy.
In the early 1980s, Air France asked Roger Bezombes, famous for his sculptures and paintings, to create original artworks illustrating the spirit of Air France. He created a series of 16 colorful photographic collages that were printed at the Atelier Mourlot. These graphic works were created using lithography, typography and embossing with metallic inks.
These posters are revolutionary. Inspired by surrealism, they represent concepts rather than destinations and evoke the mysteries and joys of air travel. Very much ahead of their time, they were only distributed by Air France and exhibited for the first time at the Pompidou Museum of Modern Art ten years after their creation.

Roger Bezombes
Roger Bezombes (1913 - 1994) was a French painter, sculptor, medallist and designer. He studied in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and was much influenced by his friendship with Maurice Denis. He worked principally as a painter, adopting the saturated colours of Henri Matisse in landscapes and figure studies often based on observation of 'exotic' cultures, notably Mediterranean and North African. In the mid-1960s a new rawness emerged in his work, derived from 'primitive' examples and new materials associated with his experiments in other media. He executed tapestry designs for Aubusson, posters (winning the Grand Prix de l'Affiche Francaise in 1984), costumes and sets for ballets at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, reliefs and murals. In 1965 he took up medal-making, expressing in his numerous metallic works for the Paris Mint that obsession with found objects which is also evident in his large-scale sculpture and in his posters.
