DONALD BRÜN (1909-1999)
SWISSAIR. 1949.
39 1/2x24 1/4 inches, 100 1/4x61 1/2 cm. Wasserman, Basel. Condition A-: creases and abrasions in margins and image.
A prominent and prolific poster artist from Basel, Brün had an ever-changing style. He began his career with images that conformed to Niklaus Stoecklin's Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity). His style then became more humorous, much in the vein of Herbert Leupin, his prolific counterpart. Here, a stylish and sassy young traveler, with her carrying case bearing an airline tag, is greeted by the pilot of the waiting plane. The Poster 379, Modern Publicity 1950-1951, p. 26.
