Air France - KLM GroupThe “Georges Mathieu” exhibition pays tribute to one of the most singular and prolific artists of the second half of the XXth century, from his early work in the post-war years to his creations of the mid-1980s. With his pictorial language, expressive gestures and visual dynamism, Georges Mathieu brought a touch of modernity to artistic creation of the time. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, he sought out new encounters and experiences. Visitors can discover some forty paintings, mainly from the Centre Pompidou collection, alongside a selection of his medals and coins from the Monnaie de Paris collection, as well as from other major public and private collections, notably those of Air France.
One of the exhibition rooms features a series of posters created for the company, showcasing the wealth of its heritage. In 1966, Air France commissioned a series of advertising posters from Georges Mathieu. These works were intended to promote the main destinations in the airline’s extensive global network, including France, as well as Egypt, the United States, Japan and India. To enable everyone to easily identify the countries represented at a simple glance, Mathieu’s compositions capture the very essence of each destination. Some fifteen original posters were published the following year in 1967, illustrating the extent of the artist’s influence beyond his paintings.
