EDITORS COMMENTS
August Strindberg (1849-1912), a Swedish writer, dramatist, and painter, captured his own image in this self-portrait taken around 1906-07. The photograph, now held by the Nordiska Museet Foundation in Sweden, showcases Strindberg's eccentricity and artistic expression. With a thick moustache and a wild, unkempt hairstyle, Strindberg's intense stare adds to the intrigue of this profile view. Strindberg was a prolific writer, known for his plays, novels, and essays. He was also an influential figure in the expressionist artistic movement, which emphasized emotional intensity and individualism. In this self-portrait, Strindberg embodies the concept of eccentricity, a trait that was both celebrated and criticized during his time. The photograph, taken in a studio setting, is a testament to the versatility of the writer and artist. Strindberg's career spanned various professions, from jobbing writer to painter, and this self-portrait serves as a reminder of his multifaceted talents. The image, with its stark contrasts of white and black, is a vintage treasure that continues to captivate viewers and inspire artists to this day. Strindberg's legacy as a writer and artist has left a significant mark on Swedish and Nordic heritage. His works continue to be studied and performed, and this self-portrait is a tangible piece of history that offers a glimpse into the mind and persona of a truly remarkable individual.
