Probably not an acquainted name outside the Netherlands, Mettes was an industrial artist whose recognisable design and characteristic humour converted into promotions of the highest quality. From political, film and public safety and security posters to legendary advertisements for popular Dutch brand names like Heineken, Droste, Hartevelt, Amstel and Boldoot, bold colours and a cartoonish style and creativity make things springtime to life in his jobs. 1938 De Nationale Film.
