About This Piece

Vintage Design

The Piece
This dynamic vintage poster was created by Georges Mathieu for Air France in 1968 to promote travel to the USSR. Set against a deep crimson background, the composition features Mathieu's signature "Lyrical Abstraction" style, using rapid, energetic strokes in white, black, and gold to evoke the iconic onion domes of Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. The artwork transcends traditional advertising, standing as a piece of fine art that captures the energy of the destination.

Why It Matters
- Georges Mathieu is celebrated as the father of Lyrical Abstraction, and his collaboration with Air France is considered one of the golden eras of airline advertising.
- This specific piece boasts exceptional provenance, coming directly from the private collection of Jean-Marie Cusinberche, Mathieu's official biographer and close associate.
- The poster represents a perfect convergence of mid-century travel culture and avant-garde art history.
