Åke Rudolf William Arenhill lived from 1920 to 2018. He was a Swedish artist, set designer, publicist and lyricist. He studied at the Scandinavian School of Painting. He painted landscapes featuring motifs from the West Coast and Scania. In the 1950s, Arenhill worked in the advertising department of the Swedish Telegram agency. He created advertising campaigns for Yaxa deodorant and Perplex makeup cosmetics. Arenhill also directed the play The Apollo of Bellac and designed the set for Berthold Brecht’s famous play The Threepenny Opera at Lilla Teatern in Lund. He also created posters for Theatre 23 in Malmö, founded in 1959 by Per Åhlin and Lennart Bratt. In 1967, he directed his own short film, The Visit. He also worked in the press, radio and television as a producer and presenter. He hosted the television programme Tro’t om ni vil, which was broadcast in two runs between 1977 and 1979. In 1990, he produced The Flying Dutchman, a musical monologue about the life of Cornelis Vreeswijk. The work was translated into Dutch and performed by Jules Croiset. Åke Arenhill wrote the Swedish lyrics for the song Like a bridge over dark waters. In 1994, he created a poster for the Kristianstad / Åhus Jazz Festival. Åke Arenhill also designed card games, both classic games and the four-colour games currently popular among poker players, in which diamonds are blue and clubs are green.

The works are in their original vintage condition. We have two sets. The images in both sets are identical. The set numbered 75/400 remains available.
