The Impossible Arises explores the life and work of Oscar
Reutersvard (1916-2002), founder of the Impossible Figures
movement. The movement began in Stockholm in 1934 when
eighteen-year-old Reutersvard drew the first impossible triangle.
Over the course of his life he would go on to draw around 4000
impossible figures and be honored by the Swedish government with an
issue of stamps showing his work. Based on a large collection of
Reutersvard's art and correspondence held at the Lilly Library at
Indiana University Bloomington, the lavishly illustrated Impossible
Arises examines the evolution of Reutersvard's impossible figures
and how they influenced other modern artists in the later twentieth
century. The Impossible Arises offers a detailed look at the
philosophy guiding Reutersvard's art and presents a rich array of
stories from his eccentric personal life. It is an essential
introduction to the life and career of one of the most fascinating
artists of the twentieth century.
