Artist: GUY GEORGET (1911-1992) Size: 24 1/8 x 39 1/8 in./61.4 x 99.4 cm Condition: A-/ Slight tears at edges. Printer: Courbet, Paris Reference: Ref: Air France/Dream, p. 162; Air France, p. 91 Key Words: Aviation; Travel; By Air, Land, or Sea; Modern Air France / Espagne. 1963. Viva, viva Espagne! Guy Georget produced many celebrated posters for Air France, often appropriating the signature styles of famed artists like Cézanne, but with such skill that he got away with it. Here, he's deploying blocks of color like Miró and Mondrian; the tower of the Seville Cathedral comes rising up out of a seashell-shaped fan as if it were an architectural Venus, as imagined by Dalí; and the face of the traditionally dressed mujer is in the colors of the Spanish flag, shaped as a semicolon.
