Original Air France Poster - Europe, by Nathan - 1963

With this striking geometric composition created by Nathan in 1963, Air France offers a stylized and dreamlike vision of Europe, balancing graphic modernity with cultural heritage. A true mosaic of shapes and colors, this original lithograph embraces abstraction to capture the multifaceted essence of the Old Continent.

At the heart of the poster, the Arc de Triomphe emerges within a circular medallion - like an open window onto Paris. As a central symbol, it anchors a landscape composed of emblematic architectural forms: steeples, classical columns, Byzantine domes, and iconic façades intertwine in a vibrant chromatic kaleidoscope. The bold black outlines, evocative of stained glass or Cubism, lend the work an instantly recognizable visual strength.

Printed in Paris by the Perceval studio, this poster is linen-backed and preserved in outstanding condition (A+). Its format - approximately 39.4 x 24.4 inches - gives it a strong wall presence, ideal for enhancing a refined interior.

A vivid testament to the graphic elegance of the 1960s and Air France’s desire to celebrate unity in European diversity.
