Description
Cinquantenaire Aéronautique – Le Bourget 1959 Poster
A bold and highly graphic French poster created for the 50th anniversary of the Salon International de l’Aéronautique at Le Bourget. Interlocking arrows surge upward in saturated primary colors, forming a dynamic composition rooted in mid-century modern and early space-age visual language. Both abstract and symbolic, the design captures the optimism and technological ambition of postwar aviation.
