Henri Matchavariani (born 1939) is a French painter, calligrapher and illustrator of Georgian and Romanian descent. He was an art director in Paris and Milan. He has produced numerous illustrations for the press (Vogue) and advertising campaigns, especially for Air France. He worked closely with Helmut Newton on a project for Cacharel. His art is guided by the elegance of the line and by a gesture of imaginative flights, inspired by the East. His calligraphy follows in the footsteps of Christian Dotremont.
An exhibition "Henri Matchavariani and Christian Dotremont" is planned soon.
Around 1990 Henri Matchavariani made a whole series of fashion drawings with clothes inspired by Thierry Mugler.
"Just a few strokes, like an economy, like a strict necessity to the sign. A few strokes, like a flicker of pastel or ink in the silence of my white sheets. Just a few strokes, and nothing more than that". Henri Matchavarian
