Svavar Guðnason: Light Into Color – the Icelandic Cobra Artist

The Icelandic painter Svavar Guðnason (1909-1988) was a key figure in the making of contemporary European art history and was one of the artists who founded the avant-garde art group known as Cobra.

In this beautiful book, the main author, art historian and visual artist Anna Jóhannsdóttir, chronicles Guðnason’s unique career, and Danish art historian Jens Tang Kristensen presents Guðnason as “an international Icelandic master”.

SVAVAR GUÐNASON is a stunning book about one of Europe’s most distinguished artists. The book is accompanied by prints of five works by Guðnason.
