THE AFRICAN
In “The New Adventures of African Michel Bouton”, the poster depicts Senegal in the 1950s, with Michel admiring the majestic Air France DC4, symbol of his beginnings in aeronautics.
A mischievous nod to his past emerges with the presence of an exotic bird on his shoulder, complicit in a hidden cocktail. His straw hat evokes the tranquility of his well-deserved retirement, while his shirt recalls his avant-garde use of the first computers. Each square of fabric recounts the great moments of the beginnings of computing, memories that are an integral part of its identity.
A discreet stamp underlines his birthday and his links with Africa, land of discoveries and unique memories which have enriched his existence. This work captures the essence of a man whose life is a vibrant symphony of optimism and happiness.
