Släkten och slavarna (The Family and The Slaves). In addition to being regarded as the father of the Swedish industry, Louis De Geer was also involved in the profitable slave trade during the 17th century. About 400 years later, artist Carl Johan De Geer wants to highlight the family’s more unknown side. The book was released in connection with the opening of Carl Johan De Geer’s exhibition Släkten och slavarna at Norrköpings konstmuseum 2019. Published by Orosdi-Back 2019.

Carl Johan De Geer (b. 1938) is a Swedish visual artist, designer, photographer, filmmaker, and cultural figure whose multidisciplinary practice has played a significant role in Sweden’s postwar art and design landscape. Born in Montréal and raised in several European cities, he returned to Sweden in his youth and later studied graphic design at Konstfack between 1959 and 1963. His background in photography, printmaking, and textile design laid the foundation for an artistic career marked by experimentation and a strong visual identity.
