Carl Johan De Geer
Template:Short description Template:Expand Swedish Template:Infobox person/Wikidata Baron Carl Johan Louis De Geer af Finspång (born 13 July 1938) is a Swedish artist, writer, musician and friherre (baron) of the De Geer noble family.
De Geer was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He grew up in a castle in Skåne, in southern Sweden.[1] He broke with his bourgeois background and became a leftist artist, and studied at Konstfack, University College of Art, Crafts and Design in Stockholm. He also exposed his grandmother's Nazi sympathies in a film called Script error: No such module "Lang". ("Grandmother, Hitler and I").
Most radical and provoking at that time was his 1967 poster of a burning Swedish flag with the words Script error: No such module "Lang". ('COCK') and "Script error: No such module "Lang"." (Desecrate the flag) written on it. The poster was shown in an art gallery, but was immediately confiscated by the police.[2] During the late 1960s he was among the contributors of a satirical magazine, Puss, in Stockholm.[3] De Geer has written a number of books and was also a member of the Swedish radical prog band Blå Tåget.[4] He has been married to the artist Marianne Lindberg de Geer since 1987.
He was awarded the Illis quorum by the Swedish government in 2017.[5]
