Description

"No oil spills."
Erik Bruun (b. 1926) is a Finnish graphic designer with a long and varied career. Among other things, he was one of the designers of the last series of Finnish Mark currency notes before Finland joined the euro (and when that happened, he was also asked to participate in the design competition for the euro bills). But most of all, he's known for his iconic poster designs.
Most of Bruun's illustrated posters were printed as lithographs, so they don't have "original drawings" as such. Bruun developed such a close working relationship with the printers, that he would draw the finished image directly on the printing plates himself.
The closest thing to a paper original he'd have would be idea sketches, or prelims. These would vary in size and precision: he could just do postcard-sized rough sketches, or more elaborate letter sheet size sketches. For a few projects, he would also hand-paint a full size mock-up of the finished poster.
This is a letter sheet sized sketch, hand-painted in gouache, a pitch for an environmental poster campaign that was never actually published.
