Sýningaropnun | Kjarval: Draumaland / Exhibition opening | Kjarval: Dreamland

Verið velkomin á opnun sýningarinnar í Listasafni Reykjavíkur – Kjarvalsstöðum, laugardag 24. maí kl. 15.00.

Líf Magneudóttir, formaður borgarráðs opnar sýninguna.

Á sýningunni er sjónum beint að fantasíuverkum Kjarvals sem innihalda dulspekilegar og trúarlegar vísanir og táknmyndir.

Einnig er horft til tveggja áhrifavalda á ferli Kjarvals; myndhöggvarans Einars Jónssonar (1874-1954) og enska skáldsins og listamannsins Williams Blake (1757-1827). Einar var þekktur fyrir goðsöguleg og trúarleg myndefni og lagði áherslu á táknrænar merkingar í höggmyndum sínum og málverkum.

Sýningarstjóri er Edda Halldórsdóttir.
