The Life of the World>M> was the title of the 16-poster series Bezombes designed for Air France in 1981. His creative typography adorned the bottom of each image, and his contemporary style was described as "a kind of resume of modern art, from Braque to surrealism by way of Picasso, through the use of 'graphic citations,' in the same way jazzmen sometimes play a few measures from another musician" (Air France p. 116).
