History / Bio Oscar Reutersvärd (1915–2002) was a Swedish artist, author, and professor of art history at the University of Lund. He is internationally regarded as the creator of the first “impossible figures,” beginning in 1934. His mathematically impossible constructions influenced later developments in Op Art, conceptual drawing, and visual paradox imagery associated with artists such as M.C. Escher. Reutersvärd’s original signed drawings are significantly scarcer than exhibition reproductions and printed examples. His hand-drawn impossible perspective works remain highly collectible within conceptual art, mathematical art, and modern Scandinavian design circles.
