Artist: Gunnar Forsström (1894-1958)
Published: 1949
A high-quality post-card, printed in Finland on Finnish paper.
Size: 12 x 18 cm.
This poster belong to the series of four original art works that the poster hunters from Come to Finland found in 2013. They were made by Gunnar Forsström for the Helsinki 450-year celebration in 1950, but were never published. So this is true unique poster art. We are therefore proud to bring you these high quality reprints.
The artist Gunnar Forsström studied at the Central School of Applied Arts between 1913 and 1916. Together with the artist Göran Hongell he founded a decoration agency in the beginning of the 1920s, which received attention for its production
of high-class posters.
Gunnar Forsströms debut as a glass painter in 1932 was marvellous. In a competition for glass paintings to be chosen for Oulu cathedral, Forsström won both first and second prize. The third prize went to the famous artist Lennart Segerstråle.
Forsström came to be responsible for the artistic decoration of several public buildings, restaurants, banks and churches. Among his greater works can be mentioned the chapel at Hietaniemi Cemetery in Helsinki and Olaus Petri Church in Helsinki.

1920-luvun alussa hän perusti taiteilija Göran Hongellin kanssa somistustoimiston, joka herätti huomiota laadukkailla julisteilla.
Gunnar Forsströmin debyytti lasimaalarina vuonna 1932 oli suurenmoinen: Oulun tuomiokirkon lasimaalauskilpailussa Forsström voitti sekä ensimmäisen että toisen palkinnon. Taiteilija Lennart Segerstråle tuli kolmanneksi.
Forsström vastasi useiden julkisten rakennusten, ravintoloiden, pankkien ja kirkkojen taiteellisesta koristelusta. Hänen suurimpien töidensä joukosta voidaan mainita Hietaniemen hautakappelit sekä Helsingin Olaus Petrin kirkko.
