Transcription

Early life and education

Born as Terje Brofos during a bomb attack in May 1940,[1] he grew in Berg, a neighborhood in the North End[2] of Oslo. In 1944, he was severely injured in a traffic accident. His father Fritjof was an engineer who struggled with alcohol.[3] His mother Elsa worked as a biochemist and would eventually leave her husband.[4]

During his youth, he excelled in both summer and winter sports. He became one of Norway's best tennis players and in 1955 played in a doubles final for the Norwegian championship with Arne Melander, a match which the duo lost.[4]

Pushwagner finished his education at the State's School of Art and Design of Oslo in 1959. He stated that he quit drawing for a period after his studies and that he struggled for several years to find his personal style.[5]

Career

Pushwagner described himself as a spiritual student of Norwegian author Axel Jensen, whom he met at Kunstnernes Hus in 1968.[6] Pushwagner and Jensen lived together for a time, partly in an apartment in Oslo, Norway and partly in Fredrikstad, Norway; Stockholm, Sweden and Menorca, Spain. Pushwagner illustrated Jensen's book Og resten står skrivd i stjernene/And the Rest is Writ(ten) in the Stars (1995). Fascinated by comics since childhood, Pushwagner was inspired to start the series "Soft City" and "Doktor Fantastisk" during this period.[4]

Pushwagner won back the rights to his drawings from Morten Dreyer in 2009.

In July 2012, London-based publisher Art / Books published an extensive monograph on his work[7] to coincide with an exhibition at MK Gallery in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom that subsequently toured to Haugar Vestfold Kunstmuseum in Norway and Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in the Netherlands.[8][9][10]

Personal life and death

Pushwagner was twice divorced and had two daughters.

He was diagnosed with lung cancer and died at Diakonhjemmet Hospital on 24 April 2018.[1] He was 77.

He is buried at Our Saviour’s cemetery in Oslo.
