- Description
- This most stylized and abstracted of Arosenius's works is something of a mystery. The inscription reads, ""Fan, vad jag är begåfvad!", roughly translated: "damn, how gifted I am!" What are we to make of this commentary? The distorted Arosenius sits on a cloud. Is he dead, or merely disconnected from the cityscape below? Is it a position of elevation, alienation, or confusion? Is he dead?
