H\u00f6r\u00f0ur \u00c1g\u00fastsson (1922-2005) was a leading figure in the fields of art, design, teaching and research. He had a formative influence on the development of geometric abstract art in Iceland, as well as graphic design with his extensive work in the field of book design. H\u00f6r\u00f0ur was a prominent voice in the discussion of visual arts in the 20th century through his editorial work at Birtingur, academic work and publishing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exhibition presents works by H\u00f6r\u00f0ur that reflect his approach to form and color theory from 1955\u20131978. Within his formal exploration one can sense the space where the architect and the poet intertwine, where the researcher and the creator meet in a holistic idea about the essence of all art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
