DescriptionDescription: Oskar Andersson is best known for his drawings and cartoons, published under the initials “OA” in papers such as Söndags-Nisse and Strix. There is often a dark undertone to his humour, which is sometimes absurd bordering on the macabre. Andersson scrutinised contemporary life and people of every social class. This unfinished self-portrait shows another side to his talent. It is a study in icy colours, with the tie as a black exclamation mark, and is at once cocksure and melancholy.
