Gunnar Cederschiöld (Mathias Gunnar Cederschiöld, 30 July 1887 – 21 November 1949) was a Swedish author, image artist[1] and fencer.
Gunnar Cederschiöld graduated in Gothenburg in 1906, after which he studied painting at Valand Academy there and in Copenhagen. He then studied in Paris at Académie de la Grande Chaumière and as a private student for Théophile Steinlen. As a writer he became known first through letters on Paris to Swedish newspapers, then during and after World War I through lively and vivid depictions which, even when having the character of novels, by their type are skilled journalism. They are collected in a series of books illustrated with Cederschiöld's quickly accomplished drawings.
In 1919 Cederschiöld was managing director of AB France-Afrique in Paris, and for Société genérale des Allumettes in 1927.
