1. Erró, the initiator of narrative figuration in France

Erró is an Icelandic painter born Gudmundur Gudmundsson in Ólafsvík on July 19, 1932. This postmodern artist transcends the boundaries of Pop Art and is famous for his highly colorful paintings, drawings, and collages, as well as his prints and sculptures. Initially close to the Surrealists, Erró abandoned this movement to focus on collage after discovering mass consumption in the United States. He traveled the world, collecting images in the form of advertisements, news photos, comic strips, posters, and political documents. All these illustrations served as his source of inspiration. In some of his compositions, he skillfully incorporated figures from the works of famous artists such as Eugène Delacroy and Pablo Picasso. His paintings are often described as being "as much to be read as seen." Indeed, Erró employs a surrealist imagery, ranging from comic strip characters to Pop icons like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. Erró has achieved international renown as a leading figure in narrative figuration in France; an equivalent of pop art which emerged in the early 1960s. His work has been exhibited in Europe, Iceland, the United States and Israel.
