Leiðsögn sýningarstjóra
Anna Jóhannsdóttir, sýningarstjóri leiðir gesti um sýninguna Kjarval á Austurlandi.
Kjarval á Austurlandi er sýning á landslagsmyndum og mannamyndum frá Austurlandi eftir Jóhannes S. Kjarval (1885-1972). Á Borgarfirði eystri eru æskustöðvar Kjarvals og þangað lagði hann oft leið sína á fullorðinsárum og sótti þá efnivið verka sinna til hins tignarlega landslags á Austurlandi. Verkin, sem flest eru úr fórum Listasafns Íslands og eru meðal annars úr safni Þorvaldar Guðmundssonar og Ingibjargar Guðmundsdóttur, spanna tímabilið frá 1914 til 1961; olíumálverk, vatnslitamyndir, grafíkverk og túskteikningar. Sum verkanna birta þekkjanlega staði, eins og Dyrfjöll og Álfaborg í Borgarfirði eystri, en önnur skírskota til alþýðutrúar og birta ímyndunarauðgi listamannsins.
Aðgöngumiði á safnið gildir.

Curator – led tour
Anna Jóhannsdóttir, curator guides guests through the exhibition Kjarval in the East.
The exhibition features landscape paintings from East Iceland by Jóhannes S. Kjarval (1885-1972), most of which are from the collection of the National Gallery of Iceland. Kjarval grew up in Borgarfjörður eystra and he often travelled there in his adult years, drawing inspiration for his works from the majestic landscape of East Iceland. The works in the exhibition span the period from 1914 to 1961, including oil paintings as well as watercolour and graphic images. Some of the works depict views of recognizable places, such as Dyrfjöll and Strandatindur in Seyðisfjörður, while others refer to popular beliefs and display the artist's imagination and experimental approach in terms of style and techniques.

The event will be held in Icelandic.
A valid museum admission ticket is required to attend the event.
