GUY ARNOUX (1890-1951) AIR FRANCE / AMÉRIQUE DU NORD. 1946.
38 1/2x24 inches, 98x61 cm. Hubert Baille & Cie, Paris. Condition B+ / B: tears in upper image; creases and abrasions in margins and image. Paper. Framed.
An optimistic post-war image depicting North America as the proverbial "City in the Clouds." Note the subtle depiction of the stars and stripes. Arnoux was a prolific book illustrator. The few posters he designed generally fall into one of two design styles: images d'epinal, naive, traditionalist woodcuts focusing only on a subject's positive qualities, and this, a more Modernist, Art Deco style. Air France p. 72.
