L'histoire de Paris remonte aux environs de 259 av. J.-C., avec les
Parisii, une tribu celtique installée sur les rives de la Seine. En 52
av. J.-C., le village de pécheurs fut conquis par les Romains et fonda
une ville gallo-romaine appelée Lutetia. Read more about the Histoire de Paris
Vers 1850, les artistes indépendants se réunissent et se rencontrent régulièrement à Montmartre. Les peintres impressionnistes les plus célébres garderont l'habitude de se retrouver ici : Bazille,
Renoir, mais aussi Claude Monet, sans oublier Cézanne, Degas ou Pissaro, ils viennent tous ici parler peinture et refaire le monde dans une ambiance enfiévrée.

modes de représentations, conventions symboliques, précision des levers,

Les peintres et artistes
Vers 1850, les artistes indépendants se réunissent et se rencontrent régulièrement à Montmartre, au café Guerbois situé avenue de Clichy (à l'époque, Grande Rue des Batignolles).

Paris Mode, parfum et toilette
Paris a été la capitale de la mode du monde occidental du XVIIe au XXIe
siècle. Les vêtements que nous portons aujourd'hui doivent beaucoup à
Paris, même s'ils ont été conçus (et presque certainement fabriqués)
ailleurs dans le monde.
Posters
L'affiche moderne serait née dans la seconde moitié du 19e siècle, en 1866 pour être exact. Les murs extérieurs et intérieurs des villes ont été décorés d'affiches reprenant le thème du spectacle de la Vie Parisienne.
Jules Cheret et Toulouse-Lautrec ont créé les affiches La Belle Epoque en France. Le style Art nouveau, caractérisé par les surfaces inspirées de la gravure sur bois de Hans Hollwein, a fait évoluer l'affiche sur le plan artistique.
Air France posters
The poster has always occupied a special place in Air France's communication. With a heritage of more than 1,500 posters by the most prestigious illustrators and
artists, the Company has one of the richest collections in the world.
Air France has over 1500 posters to its name, many of which were created by the most esteemed designers and illustrators like Savignac, Solon and Cassandre, Cocteau, Mathieu, Brenet, Picart.
Les Maîtres de l'affiche
In the ebullient period of 'La Belle Époque'
the magazine "Les Maitres de l'Affiche" (Masters of the Poster) published reduced lithographic versions, of the best posters of Europe and America,
by more than 90 great artists.
The posters in
this series had major appeal, in part, due to its manageable size.
Scenes of Parisian Life
Daily life is filled with repetitive activities-seemingly mundane motions and actions that are nevertheless weighted with meaning because of their cumulative effect in structuring time and defining experience. Whether they arise from business, busyness, or leisure, these rituals, occupations and pastimes are significant.
From the minute to the hour, to the day, to the week, to the month, to the season, to the year, any single activity incorporates both immediacy, existing in the moment, and endurance, reflected in its continuing practice. A large number of prints, oil paintings were made in the last centuries who show the elite, fashionable Parisian lifestyle during good and worst time.
Daumier
Honoré Daumier was born 26 February 1808 in Marseilles and died 10 February 1879 in Valmondois. His most active years: 1830 - 1879. Known as the "Michelango of Caricature", Honoré Daumier was a prolific painter, printmaker, sculptor, and caricaturist. He produced over 4,00 lithographs in his lifetime, which were known for their satires of political figures and the the behavior of the bourgeois in society.
As a boy, he showed an inclination towards art, which his father tried to discourage, and so he put him to work as an usher. But, Daumier's talents could not be dissuaded, and he later works at a bookseller, eventually landing in the employ of Alexandre Lenoir, an artist and archaeologist, and becoming his protégé.
The Air France poster presentation
Among the airlines of the world, Air France has always gone to great lengths in promoting the services it provides to the world, and issued a series of posters of stunning design. All are highly collectible, especially the Planisphere series to which this poster belongs, designed by Lucian Boucher.
In this presentation, Marianne Hermann of Paris City Art provides a special video on Lucien Boucher and the imagination that went behind the work of Air France marketing. She will share her vast knowledge on the subject of Mid-Century promotional mapping for travel, specifically as it relates to Air France.
