About the Item
Step into the sun-drenched world of the French Riviera through the lens of Roger Bezombes' enchanting 1956 poster, a radiant masterpiece created for the French National Railroads (SNCF). This vintage gem invites us to embark on a visual journey that captures the allure of the Côte d'Azur and the seamless travel promised by SNCF.
The poster, a vibrant celebration of mid-century design, stands as a testament to the era's fascination with travel and leisure. Bezombes, a master of color and composition, skillfully intertwines the iconic imagery of the French Riviera with the efficient and modern travel offered by SNCF.
Azure skies, palm-fringed beaches, and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea form the backdrop against which SNCF's train glides effortlessly. The composition is a harmonious blend of dreamy landscapes and the promise of convenient travel, reflecting the aspirations of a society emerging from post-war constraints.
Bezombes' use of color is nothing short of captivating. The warm hues of the sun, the cool tones of the sea, and the lush greenery of the landscape evoke a sense of blissful escape. The juxtaposition of these colors with the sleek SNCF train conveys a message of seamless transportation to paradise.

Roger Bezombes
Roger Bezombes (1913 - 1994) was a French painter, sculptor, medallist and designer. He studied in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and was much influenced by his friendship with Maurice Denis. He worked principally as a painter, adopting the saturated colours of Henri Matisse in landscapes and figure studies often based on observation of 'exotic' cultures, notably Mediterranean and North African. In the mid-1960s a new rawness emerged in his work, derived from 'primitive' examples and new materials associated with his experiments in other media. He executed tapestry designs for Aubusson, posters (winning the Grand Prix de l'Affiche Francaise in 1984), costumes and sets for ballets at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, reliefs and murals. In 1965 he took up medal-making, expressing in his numerous metallic works for the Paris Mint that obsession with found objects which is also evident in his large-scale sculpture and in his posters.
