Israel.

Israel travel poster designed in the lyrical abstraction style. Commissioned by Air France in 1966 as part of a landmark series celebrating the airline's global network, this striking promotional poster was created by the celebrated painter Georges Mathieu (1921–2012), a pioneer of the French Lyrical Abstraction movement. For this particular destination, Mathieu blended national and religious symbols - including the Star of David and the seven-branched menorah — into his signature style of energetic, calligraphic abstraction. The vivid purple piece was produced by the renowned Paris printing house Draeger Frères (Draeger Brothers). Original offset colour lithograph airline travel poster, framed and glazed; poster size: 100 x 60 cm, framed size: 110 x 71 cm.
