1949 is an Italian artist; he created both the text and images of the Codex Seraphinianus. The text is asemic, and according to Serafini is meant to evoke "the sensation that children feel in front of books they cannot yet understand, although they see that their writing does make sense for grown-ups" rather than the experience of being unable to read a language.
