'''''Guðmundur Einarsson (1895-1963)''''' ''was one of the well-known and prolific artists of his time for many reasons. He was very productive, worked within many realms of art, held many private exhibitions in Iceland and also a number of them abroad as well as participating in collective exhibitions. Many of his works are displayed in public. In addition, he was active within the associations of artists, in cultural debates and internal struggles within the group of artists.''
''His views were often related to the classics, romanticism, national pride, a keen interest in indigenous people, spiritualism, figurative arts and tradition. They were somewhat controversial and his highly outspoken and somewhat charismatic manner put him into public light, especially after modernism gained ground in Iceland, after WWII.''
''Guðmundur studied art in Iceland 1911-13 and 1916, in Copenhagen 1919-20 and in Munich, Germany in 1920-25. His fields of study and performance include graphics, oil painting, sculptures and ceramics. He was a pioneer of etchings and ceramics in Iceland. Much of his work was done within these main fields but gradually he started to paint aquarelles, some tending towards abstract art, to design jewelry and objects of copper and silver, furniture and private houses or huts as well as make stained glass windows, iron structures, garden landscapes and relief ornaments for public buildings. He wrote four books, was a skilled photographer and made a number of 16-mm documentary films. In addition, Guðmundur pioneered alpinism in Iceland, traveled widely and promoted exploring, nature conservation, hiking and various outdoor activities. Simultaneously, he was an ardent angler and bird hunter.''
