EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white self-portrait, August Strindberg (1849-1912), the renowned Swedish author, playwright, and painter, gazes intently into the camera lens. The image, taken around 1906-1907, showcases Strindberg's distinctive features - a thick mustache, furrowed brow, and piercing eyes. The photograph, made with the so-called Wunderkameran, adds an element of mystery and menace to the already intriguing figure. Strindberg was a versatile artist, known for his contributions to various artistic movements, including expressionism. His works, often reflecting his eccentricity and dark sensibilities, challenged societal norms and pushed boundaries. This self-portrait, with its dramatic shadows and stark contrasts, is a testament to his artistic vision. Born in Stockholm, Strindberg's career spanned various professions - from a job as a clerk to a successful writer. He is best known for his plays, which explored the complexities of human relationships and the human condition. Strindberg's works continue to be celebrated, and this self-portrait is a valuable addition to the Nordic Museum Foundation's collection at the Nordiska museet in Sweden. The photograph captures Strindberg in his studio, surrounded by the shadows of his surroundings, emphasizing his introspective nature. The image, with its timeless quality, invites viewers to delve deeper into the enigmatic world of this remarkable artist.
