Here is a quite pristine of a large playful illustration of a musician who is physically merged with a cello.
The character’s body curves into the shape of the instrument, creating a humorous and imaginative design.
About 19 Danish vintage posters carries the title "Musik skal der til - Spil Selv" (There must be music - Play it yourself or Music is need/wanted - play music yourself). I believe the poster advertises a campaign along with exhibitions to encourage kids to play music in the 1950s and 1960s. Many posters has been produced in different years, with different motifs and by different artists (among them Bjørn Wiinblad and Otto Nielsen) which states that playing music is a quite important matter.
Bring pure mid-century charm into your home with this original 1952 Danish poster by illustrator Arne Agerholm. Designed to inspire children and adults to make their own music, the poster features Agerholm’s signature playful style — bold colors, joyful characters, and dancing musical notes. Printed by Andreasen & Lachmann, Copenhagen, this is a beautiful example of Scandinavian graphic design from the early 1950s and a rare collectible for lovers of vintage music, design, and illustration.
