Sven Brasch - danish poster designer - 1886-1970

SVEN BRASCH was born in 1886 in Sealand, Denmark, the son of a master house-painter. After finishing school, he worked in his father’s firm, and at the age of 21 he had his first drawings published in various small magazines. By 1910-1912 he had become a wellknown designer of posters and drawings in the Danish magazine world. During World War I, he produced his first movie posters. Througout the 1920’s he made himself a name as a dandy, a handsome and elegant artist in Copenhagen’s high society. In his most productive period he made a poster a week, besides many commercial drawings. At the Paris exhibition in 1925, he was awarded a gold medal for his brillant posters. In the well known year book “Posters and Publicity” the author Sidney R. Jones wrote in 1926: “…The Danish designer, Sven Brasch, is producing some of the most distinguished posters of to-day…”. In the 1930’s a new generation of artists began to appear, and by the time World War II broke out, Brasch had almost no work to do. His last commercial drawings were presented in 1956, after which there was silence about his name. He died in 1970 84 years old, in Glostrup near Copenhagen - almost forgotten…..

a Grayspace Poster Gallery

This gallery mostly consists of Polish posters designed since 1940 (with the exception of some posters by Czech and Cuban designers as well as US born, Saul Bass). This is a favorite design era of ours and we wanted to share these great works. There are over a 200 posters so it may take a little bit to load all of them on slower connections. Enjoy the inspiration.
