Original Vintage Air France Poster - Les Îles - by Roger Bezombes - 1981

Signed in 1981 by artist Roger Bezombes, this original poster for Air France takes us far beyond reality. In an explosion of color, surrealist collage, and playful typography, "Les Îles" becomes a sensory invitation to escape - into tropical fantasy and joyful exoticism.

Set against a radiant ultramarine background, an imaginary map of the world’s islands is inhabited by colorful birds and oversized eyes, like enchanted watchers. The viewer is instantly drawn into this vibrant, whimsical scene where imagination reigns supreme. The multicolored, cut-out lettering of the title enhances the playful, uninhibited spirit - an unmistakable hallmark of Bezombes, a leading figure in art poster design during the 1970s and '80s.

Printed by Mourlot, the prestigious Parisian workshop renowned for its collaborations with the great names of modern art, this lithograph measures approximately 39.4 x 23.8 inches. Linen-backed and preserved in A condition, it retains all the freshness and vitality of its original palette. An emblematic piece from a time when art boldly entered the realm of visual communication, this Air France "Les Îles" poster is a vibrant burst of visual joy.
