Description
René Dessirier (1919-2003) - Greetings 1981. Original colour lithograph on wove paper with untrimmed edges, 49 x 65 cm. Signed and dedicated in pencil by the artist lower right for Theraplix Laboratories. Condition A, perfect state of preservation. With this prestigious commission, the artist of the "Air Afrique" promotional posters combines poetic figuration with great technical rigour. The artist has created a dreamlike, delicate universe, characteristic of his compositions where light seems to emanate from the material itself. The specific dedication to Theraplix Laboratories underlines the artist's role in the tradition of the great collaborations between the medical world and the illustrators of the École de Paris during the Thirty Glorious Years. The choice of untrimmed vellum paper gives the print a classic elegance and the appearance of a luxury edition, while the handwritten signature attests to the direct link between the creator and his patron. This is a highly refined piece, bearing witness to an era when art made its way into corporate communications with rare aesthetic rigour.
