EDITORS COMMENTS
This Danish poster, titled "Oscar Fredericksen Fish House No. 1: Levende Orreder (Trout)" was designed by the renowned Danish graphic artist, Aage Lund, around 1920. The vibrant and evocative image invites us into a world of marine life and the bountiful trade of fresh fish. The central focus of the poster is the Oscar Fredericksen Fish House, depicted as a quaint, orange building nestled among the rolling blue waves. The building's name, "Oscar Fredericksen," is written in bold, white letters, adding a sense of authenticity and tradition. The tranquil yet dynamic scene is further enhanced by the playful, undulating waves and the graceful, leaping trout that populate the water. The use of rich, contrasting colors – orange, blue, and white – creates a striking visual effect, drawing the viewer's attention to the poster's intricate details. The intricate, Art Deco-inspired design elements, such as the stylized waves and the delicate, curved lines, add to the overall sense of elegance and sophistication. The poster's title, "Levende Orreder (Trout)," emphasizes the focus on the natural beauty and abundance of the marine life. The word "levende" translates to "living" or "alive," further emphasizing the vitality and energy of the scene. This poster is not only a visual feast for the eyes but also a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic talent of Denmark during the early 20th century. In summary, this Danish poster by Aage Lund is a stunning example of graphic design from the early 1900s, showcasing the beauty and bounty of the marine world and the importance of the fish trade in Danish culture.
