Kjarval. The painter who went his own way. By Margréti Tryggvadóttir.
Most people know the name Kjarval – the painter who is so famous that an entire art museum is named after him. But what was his life like? When did he start drawing and painting? Why is it sometimes said that he showed Icelanders their country in a new way and why did he sometimes just say Gilligogg when asked difficult questions?


Here, Margrét Tryggvadóttir tells the story of Jóhannes S. Kjarval, shedding light on both a unique man and an exceptional artist. The book contains a number of paintings, as well as photographs of people and objects.


Margrét Tryggvadóttir has published a variety of books, including Skoðum myndlist and Íslandsbók barnanna. Both books won the Fjöruverðunin and the latter was nominated for the Icelandic Literature Prize and the Reykjavík Children's Book Prize.


Kjarval – The Painter Who Went His Own Way is written for children and teenagers but is no less suitable for older readers who want to know more about Jóhannes S. Kjarval and Icelandic art.
