Donald BRUN

(1909 – 1999)

Humour, sensitivity, tenderness and positive emotion are qualities often used to describe the posters of Donald Brun.
Donald Brun explored several diverse graphic styles - the Cubism of his first works, his architectural compositions and the Sachplakat.
In 1944 he created his famous ‘Persil’ doll, then her little sister for ‘Agfa Gevaert’ and then another for the Swiss telephone company. These figures have become 1950’s icons, adored by both the young and old.
On several posters, Donald Brun took a conceptual approach in relating animal figures to the product. For example, for ‘Tenta’ tents, the happy frog suggests rain and the impermeability of these tents. Similarly, a passer-by would identify the cock, on the ‘Gauloises’ cigarette poster with the symbol of France.
