Carl Johan De Geer, a Swedish painter, designer, photographer, and author. Educated at Konstfack from 1959-62. He is one of the foremost representatives of the 60s' boundary-crossing artists. Using the magazine "Puss" as a platform, he and others provoked society and its representatives with vexing satirical style. In his exhibitions, which often comprise entire scenographies, he works with all forms of art. He has designed textile patterns, created paintings with kitsch and memory images, made films, and written novels in a borderland between modernism and pop culture.
