Artist: ROBERT FALCUCCI (1900-1989) Size: 23 5/8 x 39 1/4 in./62.5 x 99.5 cm Condition: A-/ Slight tears at bottom. Printer: Alepee, Paris Reference: Ref: Air France/Dream, p. 124; Air France, p. 61 Key Words: Aviation; By Air, Land, or Sea; Modern Air France / Europe. 1949. Robert Falcucci is one of the greatest colorists in the history of the poster. (See, for example, his 1930 Monaco Grand Prix, PAI-LXXV, 82). For Air France, he completely overachieved, and produced such a pleasing and sensitively-shaded ode to Europe that if bought at the below estimate, the buyer will have won at Grand Theft Poster. London's Tower Bridge, Parisian monuments, Dutch tulips, the Château de Chenonceau, pelota players, a Spanish fortress, and the Colosseum are illustrated through the medley of robust colors. The year was 1949, and this is a loving embrace of the things liberated, and the things to be celebrated, at the end of World War II. Through the middle of it all flies a Lockheed L-1049 Constellation, the first pressurized passenger aircraft, which revolutionized the possibilities for global travel.
