Norge 1953

This stunning original vintage travel poster, created in 1953 by renowned Norwegian designer Knut Yran, promotes Norway as a serene and majestic winter destination. Set against a soft, golden-yellow sky, the scene depicts a lone female skier with arms outstretched in quiet awe, gazing toward snow-covered mountain peaks bathed in gentle sunlight. The minimalist composition evokes a sense of freedom, solitude, and deep connection with nature.

Yran, one of Norway’s most celebrated graphic artists, designed several travel posters, but this particular example is especially rare. Its poetic simplicity and emotional clarity mark it as a standout work of Scandinavian mid-century design.

Printed in Norway by Grøndahl & Søn, the poster has been professionally mounted on linen for preservation. It is in good condition with light discoloration, edge wear, small stains and pinholes, consistent with age, but remains visually striking.

A truly exceptional piece, both as a collector’s item and as a work of art, capturing the quiet magic of a Norwegian winter.
