The Impossible Figures of Oscar Reutersvärd
Oscar Reutersvärd, born in Sweden in 1915, is often referred to as “the father of the impossible figure”. He earned this title by being the first artist to explore impossible figures. Over his lifetime, he literally drew thousands of impossible figures. Today, artists are still learning from his works, creating derivatives of his creations and paying homage to him in a variety of ways.
