Erró Art
Icelandic, b. 1932
UDMUNDUR GUDMUNDSSON, known as ERRÓ, is an Icelandic postmodern painter known as the co-founder of the Figuration Narrative movement in France in the early 1960s. Erró discovered art in a catalog from the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and became passionate about painting at the age of 10. After studying art in Reykjavík from 1952 to 1954, and then in Oslo, Florence and Ravenna, he settled in Paris in 1958, before moving to Thailand and the island of Formentera.
The artist's career was rich in encounters with Brauner, Masson, Miro, Man Ray , Giacometti and Max Ernst, Duchamp and Breton, whom Erró met in Paris, and then Jean-Jacques Lebel, a friend with whom he collaborated on Happening from 1963 to 1965. He also befriended the curator Pontus Hultén, who placed him under his protection.
Voluntarily provocative, Erró portrayed despots, comic-book heroes and gods of Greco-Roman mythology in a plastic universe full of enigmas. Hitler, Mao and Disney characters rub shoulders in a climate of violence and sexuality. Heir to Lichtenstein, Warhol, Fahlström, Roberto Matta and Rosenquist, the artist interweaves styles and graphics, multiplying contemporary allegories.
The artist's numerous creations include "Mecanismo, mécamanifeste, 100 poèmes mécaniques" and a mechanics manual; sets and masks for Éric Duviv's film in 1962-1963; a giant fresco in Angoulême in 1982; the portfolio print created by Cristel Éditeur d'Art for the 9th Prix Jacques-Godet and 2nd Prix Denis-Lalanne in 2012; exhibition with Jean-Jacques Deleval and Speedy Graphito at the Arsenal de Soissons.
A resolute pasticheur, Erró also uses Picasso, Léger, Disney and Dalí to stigmatize the society of spectacle and consumerism. He took part in exhibitions such as those at the Venice Biennale in 1975, the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris in 1999 and FIAC in 2001.(Biography provided by Dumas+Limbach - Fine art)

“I paint because painting is a private Utopia,” Erró writes of his art. The landscapes in Erró’s work are a constantly changing kaleidoscope of images, multivalent and mysterious, not infrequently controversial, bursting with life – and titillating, too! There is room in his pictures for both paradise and visions of fear. Erró is the alias of Gudmundur Gudmundsson, born on 19 July 1932 in Olafsvik, in north-western Iceland. Since Gudmundur first became enthralled by pictures of works of art in a catalogue from the Museum of Modern Art in New York at the tender age of ten, painting has been his passion and his mission in life. He was accepted into art school in Reykjavik as a 19-year old, subsequently complementing what he had learned there with further studies in Oslo. Erró travelled extensively in Spain, Italy, France and Germany in the 1950s, studying at the Florence Academy of Art in 1954 and at the School of Byzantine Mosaic Art in Ravenna in 1955. It was around this time that he began to exhibit his works, first and foremost in Paris, where he chose to make his home in 1958. During the 1960s he established contact with the Swedish museum director Pontus Hultén, who encouraged him and took him under his wing. Over the years Erró has taken part in hundreds of exhibitions and today his works are on show in museums all over the world, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Erró’s pictorial world is peopled by comic-strip characters and autocratic despots alike. Donald Duck with his Daisy, Chip & Dale, and other Walt Disney creations are unselfconsciously juxtaposed with Greek gods and madonnas. Elsewhere the German dictator Adolf Hitler stands shoulder to shoulder with his Iraqi counterpart Saddam Hussein...

“I paint because painting is a private Utopia,” Erró writes of his art. The landscapes in Erró’s work are a constantly changing kaleidoscope of images, multivalent and mysterious, not infrequently controversial, bursting with life – and titillating, too! There is room in his pictures for both paradise and visions of fear. Erró is the alias of Gudmundur Gudmundsson, born on 19 July 1932 in Olafsvik, in north-western Iceland. Since Gudmundur first became enthralled by pictures of works of art in a catalogue from the Museum of Modern Art in New York at the tender age of ten, painting has been his passion and his mission in life. He was accepted into art school in Reykjavik as a 19-year old, subsequently complementing what he had learned there with further studies in Oslo. Erró travelled extensively in Spain, Italy, France and Germany in the 1950s, studying at the Florence Academy of Art in 1954 and at the School of Byzantine Mosaic Art in Ravenna in 1955. It was around this time that he began to exhibit his works, first and foremost in Paris, where he chose to make his home in 1958. During the 1960s he established contact with the Swedish museum director Pontus Hultén, who encouraged him and took him under his wing. Over the years Erró has taken part in hundreds of exhibitions and today his works are on show in museums all over the world, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Erró’s pictorial world is peopled by comic-strip characters and autocratic despots alike. Donald Duck with his Daisy, Chip & Dale, and other Walt Disney creations are unselfconsciously juxtaposed with Greek gods and madonnas.

Questions About Erró Art
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024What you call a painting that is not realistic varies. If the work doesn't represent the real world, a general term for it is abstract. A work that doesn't seek to portray a subject realistically may also be an example of a specific art movement. For example, Impressionist art embraced loose brushwork and plein-air painting to respond to the movement of daily life. In contrast, Pop art drew on imagery from popular culture, such as comic books, advertising, product packaging and other commercial media. Researching the artist of a painting can help you learn more about the art movements they were associated with. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of paintings.
