Book Launch for “The Impossible Arises” by Chris Mortensen

Abstract

University Chancellor McRobbie helped celebrate the launch of the IU Press book "The Impossible Arises: Oscar Reutersvärd and His Contemporaries," written by Chris Mortensen, professor emeritus in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Adelaide. Reutersvärd founded the Impossible Figures movement in 1934 by drawing the first impossible triangle. “The Impossible Arises" features images acquired by IU's Lilly Library in 2014 as part of a collection of over 1,700 pages of letters and drawings.
