Tove Jansson's forgotten anti-fascist magazine art resurfaces

Original: Moomins creator Tove Jansson created illustrations for 'Garm', an anti-fascist Finnish-Swedish satirical magazine betwee

Tove Jansson, best known as the creator of the Moomins, drew illustrations for Garm, a Finnish-Swedish satirical magazine, from 1929, when she was just 15, until 1953. The anti-fascist publication is now drawing attention online, with a 1944 cover and drawings by Jansson surfacing at auction, reminding many of her political artwork before the Moomins fame.

Why now: Auction of a rare 1944 Garm cover is renewing interest in Jansson's lesser-known satirical and anti-fascist work.
