One of the most popular Danish artists and designers, Per Arnoldi, turns 78 today, May 25...
Arnoldi is known for his use of bright primary colors, and a simple formal language. This approach is suitable for posters and design patterns, and many of his best works (for instance the Irma cookie tins) fall within those areas. Above are two of his 6 iconic posters for Danish Rail (DSB) from the mid-70s.
Arnoldi has 18 works online in MoMA’s collection and is popular in Asia as well as all over the US and Europe.
