Icelandic art.
Exciting to own and behold!
Just over a hundred years ago, Iceland’s first painters were graduated fromRoyal Academy of Fine Art in Copenhagen. This fact may explain why most Icelandic art can be labelled as “modern art”.
Of this first generation of Icelandic painters, Jóhannes S. Kjarval is the best known. His contemporaries include Ţórarinn B. Ţorláksson, Ásgrím Jónsson, Jón Stefánsson and Kristín Jónsdóttir. Well-known Icelandic artist of the past few decads were Louisa Matthíasdóttir andNína Tryggvadóttir who both worked in America. Others of that same period were Gunlagur Scheving, Gunnlaugur Blöndal and Ţorvaldur Skúlason.
Reykjavík has a plehora of art galleries: The National Gallery of Iceland primarily features Icelandic art. The Ásgrímur Jónsson Collection is named after the artist and features his work. Kjarvalsstađir is a god place to see the work of Jóhannes S. Kjarval, and a variety of other interesting exhibitions are to be found there as well. The Harbour House features the works of Erró, possibly Iceland’s best-known contemporary painter. The works of sculptors Einar Jónsson, Ásmundur Sveinsson and Sigurjón Ólafsson have their respective galleries, each of which definitely merits a visit.
Art Gallery Fold, located at Rauđarárstigur 14, is by far Iceland’s largest gallery, with an exemplary variety of works by over 200 artists from every generation. Art Gallery Fold also has a branch in the Kringlan Shopping Mall where the emphasis is on fine art in convenient sizes, suitable as gifts.
