Västeråsutställningen 1929

This original vintage poster, created for the "Västeråsutställningen 1929," was designed by the talented Swedish artist Brita Nordencreutz, a native of Västerås. Nordencreutz's artistic education took her to prominent schools in Stockholm, Paris (André Lhote's school of painting), and Munich (Hoffman's painting school). She is renowned for her vibrant landscapes and figurative motifs.

The poster presents a condensed view of Västerås, featuring various landmarks, the harbor with cruise ships and sailboats, and even an airplane soaring overhead. The 1929 Västerås exhibition encompassed crafts, industry, handicrafts, art, cultural history, and tourism. Notably, the Nordic Museum contributed with an exhibition showcasing the country's manor houses.

While the condition is fair, with visible signs of age wear, tears, tape marks, color discoloration, and several thumbtack holes, the poster remains a valuable artifact, providing a glimpse into the cultural and industrial offerings of Västerås in 1929 through the artistic lens of Brita Nordencreutz.
