Oscar Reutersvärd (29 November 1915 – 2 February 2002) was a Swedish graphic artist, who in 1934 pioneered the art of 3D drawings that may initially appear feasible, yet cannot be physically constructed.
He is sometimes described as "the father of the impossible figure", although there are much older examples, e.g.
Hogarth's Satire on False Perspective, in addition to more recent well known examples by Roger Penrose and others.
