Aage Rasmussen Art

Aage Rasmussen made his breakthrough as a young man, in 1937 when he proposed a poster called the Lyntog Plakaten for DSB, also known as the Denmark State Railways, which was accepted on the spot. The Danish Poster Museum has reprinted several beautiful posters of Aage Rasmussen as the museum along with the art and has inherited its rights. In 1938 Rasmussen won a competition to create a new Denmark poster. One of the judges was the great idol of the French poster artist AM Cassandre. The poster was, however, only printed after the war, in 1946. Since then Aage Rasmussen has made several plakaters, tourist posters and other artwork in Odense, Svendborg and Herning.
