Description
Artist / Publisher : MATHIEU, G. / AIR France
Place & date : Paris, 1967
Color : Color printed.
Size : 1000 x 600 mm.
Condition : Offset, some wear to the edges, but generally in good condition. With dedication and signature by the artist in a black marker. Unique!
Dedicated "Pour Benijs Boulanger" and signed "Georges Mathieu", in black marker. Decorative poster advertising flights to Japan made by Georges Mathieu. The poster is one of a series of 15 composed of posters of Greece, Israel, Germany, Great Britain, Canada, Egypt, India, Japan, France, Italy, Mexico, South America, USA, and Spain.
The set was accompanied by an informative brochure with a short explication by the artist for each poster.
Mathieu wrote about the Japan poster:
"Festivals: last refuge of the creeds.
Rolling pantheons.
Multicolored rapture. Violet triumph.
Splendor of the pompous sashes.
Ghost puppets. Teeming miniatures.
Neon cataracts.
Simultaneousness of strange tradition
and familiar modernity.
Extreme refinement, exquisite subtlety:
Aesthetics represent morality.
The USSR and Hong Kong are published separately.
Mathieu finished in 1967 the production of this series of posters for Air France, whose initiative goes to Pierre Sautet, commercial director of Air France.
This unique meeting between Art and advertising led to the presentation of the posters on 26 October, 1967 at the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris.
They were a huge success: there were dozens of exhibitions organized in France and around the world.
Georges Mathieu (1921-2012) was a French painter and academician, also known to be the founder of lyrical abstraction, pioneer of Action Painting, performances, dripping, gigantism, speed, and risk, and as the early inspirer of street art.
