Guided tour with Edda Halldórsdóttir and Sigurður Trausti Traustason of Dreamland exhibition on Culture Night.
The tour will be in Icelandic.
The exhibition focuses on Kjarval's fantasy works, emphasizing pieces that include religious themes, divine or enigmatic beings, symbols, and mystical references. In addition to Kjarval's works, several paintings by Einar Jónsson, borrowed from the Einar Jónsson Sculpture Museum, are also on display.
Kjarval met Einar in London in 1911 when they stayed there simultaneously for three months and became good friends. Einar was known for his mythological and religious imagery and emphasized symbolic meanings in his sculptures and paintings.
Edda and Sigurður are experts in the works of Kjarval and Einar. On Culture Night they will guide guests through the exhibition which contains works by two of the most beloved artists of the nation.
