Description
Tourism - Jean Desaleux (1926-1990) - Messageries Maritimes. Circa 1960. 99x62 cm. Original poster, offset, canvas. Printed by Giraud, Rivoire. Condition A. This colourful and stylised composition highlights South America in the form of a map on an aguayo, a traditional Andean canvas emblematic of Bolivia and Peru. The poster incorporates symbols such as the toucan and llama, the towers and dome of Brasília (Oscar Niemeyer), while the airline's white liner stands out against a flamboyant orange background. A testament to the modernity and tourist appeal of Latin America in the 1960s, the poster illustrates the expansion of transatlantic lines to Brazil, Argentina and Chile. It is representative of the graphic communications of post-war shipping companies, at the crossroads of modernist design and the exotic imagination.
