About the Book

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: smundur Sveinsson was an Icelandic sculptor, was born at Kolsstadir in West Iceland on May 20, 1893 and died in Reykjavk on December 9, 1982. In 1915 smundur moved to Reykjavk where he enrolled in the Technical College of Iceland and apprenticed with sculptor Rkarur Jnsson for four years. In 1919 he relocated to Copenhagen, Denmark, and from there to Stockholm, Sweden, where he enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts where he remained for six years, much of it spent studying with sculptor Carl Milles. In 1924 he married sculptor Gunnfrur Jnsdttir, that he divorced later and married Ingrid and they had two children. After graduating from the Academy, smundur moved to Paris, France where he continued his study, here under the sculptor Charles Despiau. smundur returned to Iceland in 1929 and began producing a series of abstracted figurative works. His themes were often men and women at work and included such pieces as, The Blacksmith, The Washer Women and The Water Carrier. During the 1940s smundur's work moved even farther away from the human and animal form that had been his mainstay until then and by the 1950s he was producing work that was almost entirely abstract. Like many Icelandic artists smundur drew upon the traditions of his native country when seeking subjects to inspire him. These include Trollwoman, (1948), Head Ransom, (1948), based on a poem that Egil Skallagrimsson composed to save his own head and bleep-Ride, (1944) taken from the Prose Edda of Snorri Sturlusson. His S]mundur and the Seal, also in this vein, is situated in front of the main building of the University of Iceland in Reykjavk. Generally, the artist believed in placing works of art not only in the hands of a small elite, but also in making them accessible to the public. Other works of smundur Sveinsson are to be found on the hill skjuhl near Perlan in Reykjavk or at the farm of Borg Mrum...http: //booksllc.net/?l=de
