Odd Einarson

Odd Einarson (originally Odd Einarsen, June 21, 1910 – October 6, 1991) was a Norwegian caricaturist and illustrator.

Family Einarson was born in Bergen, the son of Petrus Johan Einarson and Oline Olsen.

Education Einarson studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich under the illustrator Olaf Gulbransson in 1932 and at the Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts under Søren Onsager in 1940. He spent just three or four minutes to create caricature drawings of interested passersby, and from 1947 to 1985 he is said to have portrayed over half a million Scandinavians under the signature Einarson.

Legacy In 2017, a fundraising campaign was started to obtain funds to restore Odd Einarsen's car. The vehicle, Ruslebo, was given to the municipality of Kragerø, which joined together with private forces to collect the money.
