The official poster for the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki was the work of Ilmari Sysimetsa (see PAI-LIX, 504). The image here is by one of Finland’s most prolific poster artists and sponsored by the Finnish state railways. Using the Games to promote tourism, Suhonen created a vaguely Deco design that presents Helsinki as chic, safe, and incredibly clean.
