Career
Elgström studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts from 1906 to 1907, and then with Kristian Zahrtmann in 1907 and with Christian Krohg in 1908. He contributed to the magazines Strix, Söndags-Nisse and Puck. He collected folkloristic material from Siberia, Greenland and Lappland, which he used in his books. Among his books are Lapska myther (1914), Lappalaiset (1919), and Karesuando-lapparna (1922).[1] His work was also part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1936 Summer Olympics.[2]

gollark: We can assume that the AI runs faster than humans because people will only run training for a few months at most before they get bored and stop.
gollark: Legal action was maybe also bad.
gollark: I do think the DALL-E Mini name was kind of bad.
