NEW FOREST
On the poster "NY
SKOV - RENERE VAND" -
NEW FOREST - PURER WATER I have used a humorous angle, as I have placed
a stylized cheerful frog in a drop of water.
The drop of water and the frog symbolize
both purer drinking water and purer water in the frog's small ponds,
etc.
In the motif "NY
SKOV - MERE LIV" - NEW
FOREST - MORE LIFE with the red deer I have used the same colors, but
here I have concentrated upon showing the proudest animal of the Danish
forests in a new version.
"NY SKOV - MERE
TRÆ" - NEW FOREST -
MORE WOOD symbolizes the commmercial utilzation of the forest. The wood
can be used for something. Here for houses and furniture.
On posters in
general:
At the request of Dansk Plakatmuseum (Danish
Museum of Poster Art) all new posters are sent to the museum where I
now
have one of the largest collections.
After a French visit to Dansk Plakatmuseum's
Cassandra exhibition, I received a letter from Mairie de Paris,
Direction
des Affaires Culturelles, Thierry Devynck:
I am deeply impressed by the quality of the
works which you have created and which Peder Stougaard of Dansk
Plakatmuseum in Aarhus showed me. In particular, he showed me a poster
which, as far as I remember, was entitled "Landmandsliv - en kunstart".
The drawing is at once full of charm and permanence. Would it be
possible for Bibiloteque Forney to acquire a collection which is
representative of your work? I would really like to include your work
in our collections, etc., etc.
A collection
was
subsequently sent to Paris.
