A prominent and prolific poster artist from Basel,
Brün’s style was ever-changing. He began his career
with images that conformed to Niklaus Stoecklin’s
Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity). His style
then became more humorous, much in the vein
of Herbert Leupin, his prolific counterpart.

Bell, the Swiss meat processing company, was
founded in Basel in 1869. Throughout the 20th
century, they worked with many of Switzerland's
most prominent designers on their advertising,
including Brün, Stoecklin, Leupin, Eidenbenz and
Piatti. These formidable artists encompassed a
myriad of different design genres in their work,
leaving a legacy of delectable, memorable and often
humorous images for the company.
