Summary: Jóhannes Sveinsson Kjarval adorns a retired diplomat’s walls in Snjóblinda, as Snowblind, first thriller in the Dark Iceland sextet by Ragnar Jónasson.
 |
| Jóhannes (“God is gracious”) Sveinsson (“boy, freeman, herdsman, lad, young man’s son”), under his birth name as a fisherman and under his professional nickname, Kjarval (“dear whale”), never abandoned artistically his birth and foster environments and parents. Kjarval (Oct. 15, 1885-April 13, 1972) abided in Suðurland (Romanized Sudurland, “Southern Region”), in Suðurkjördæmi (Romanized Sudurkjördæmi, “South Constituency”) with his parents, farmer Sveinn (boy, freeman, herdsman, lad, young man) Ingimundarson (“lance[-bearing] protector’s son”) and wife Karitas (“Charity”) Þorsteinsdóttir (Romanized Thorsteinsdóttir, “thunder-stone’s daughter”) Sverrissen's ("troublemaker's son") his first four years. The farm attended to by his maternal half-uncle, Jóhannes (“God is gracious”) Jónsson (“gracious god’s son”), and the latter’s wife, Guðbjörg Gissurardóttir (Romanized Gudbjörg, “god helps, rescues, saves” and Gissurardóttir, “conjecture[d], guess[ed] account, answer”), acted as family home, in Austurland (“Eastern Region”) in Norðausturkjördæmi (Romanized Norðausturkjördæmi, “Northeast Constituency”), until the young Kjarval acquitted himself in fishing and painting careers in Iceland. He adjusted, from 1922 onward, to winters in Höfuðborgarsvæðið (Romanized Höfudborgarsvædid, Greater Reykjavík, “The Capital Region”) in Reykjavíkurkjördæmi (“Reykjavík Constituency”), where he arranged his atelier (“workshop”); 1934 glass plate negative photograph of Jóhannes Sveinsson Kjarval in his atelier by Willem van de Poll; Nationaal Archief, The Hague, western coastal Netherlands: Willem van de Poll, CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication, via Wikimedia Commons |
Jóhannes Sveinsson Kjarval adorns a retired diplomat’s walls in Snjóblinda, as Snowblind, first thriller in the Dark Iceland sextet about Siglufjörður (Romanized Siglufjördur) Detective Inspector Ari Thór Arason by author Ragnar Jónasson.
Abstract, cubist, expressionist, landscape or portrait art of the drawer and painter beautified the walls of Ari (“eagle”) Thór (“thunder”) Arason’s (“eagle’s son”) grandmother’s Reykjavík home. His art catered to such contrasting concerns as career diplomat Pálmi and as the parent of Ari Thór’s accountant father or of his orchestra violinist mother. It drew city denizens such as Ari Thór and country dwellers such as Pálmi (“palm [of hand]” or “palm tree” or “Pole”?) Pálsson (“humble, little [one]”).
Jóhannes (“God is gracious”) Sveinsson (“boy, freeman, herdsman, lad, young man’s son”) Kjarval (from kær, “dear” and hval, “whale”) emanated from Efri-Ey (“higher, later, upper island”).
His father, Sveinn Ingimundarson, farmed there in Meðalland (Romanized Medalland, “middle land”) in Suðurland’s (Romanized Sudurland, “Southern Region”) former Vestur-Skaftafellssýsla (Romanized Vestur-Skaftafellssýsla, “west-glacier lakes district”) county.
Jóhannes Jónsson (“gracious god’s son”), Sveinn’s wife Karitas Þorsteinsdóttir (Romanized Thorsteinsdóttir, “thunder-stone’s daughter”) Sverrissen's ("troublemaker's son") half-brother, subsequently guarded four-year-old Kjarval (Oct. 15, 1885-April 13, 1972). He housed his half-nephew in his home in Geitavík (“goat bay”) farm in east Iceland’s Borgarfjörður eystra (Romanized Borgarfjördur eystra, “rocky-hill cliff fjord in the east”). Kjarval inhabited the Geitavík farm with his half-uncle and his half-uncle’s wife, Guðbjörg Gissurardóttir (Romanized Gudbjörg, “god helps, rescues, saves” and Gissurardóttir, “conjecture[d], guess[ed] account, answer”).
Kjarval art, which joins all city and country classes, journeys to a grandmother’s humble walls and to a retired diplomat’s high-class walls in Snjóblinda, as Snowblind.
Spare hours kindled his self-knowledge about drawing and painting techniques even as fishing occupations kept Kjarval off Norðausturkjördæmi’s (Romanized Nordausturkjördæmi, “Northeast Constituency”) Austurland (“Eastern Region”) coastlines.
Kjarval learned from listening to informal lectures by Ásgrímur Jónsson (March 4, 1876-April 5, 1958) and looking at the latter’s Icelandic folklore- and saga-like, impressionist-like landscapes. He managed a first art exhibition at the town-center Góðtemplarahús Reykjavíkur (Romanized Gódtemplarahús Reykjavíkur, “Reykjavík House of [The Order of] Good Templars [in Iceland]”) in 1908. Hannes Hafstein (Dec. 4, 1861-Dec. 13, 1922), Minister for Iceland (Feb. 1, 1904-March 31, 1909), and youth clubs netted hundreds of krónur (“[Icelandic currencies called] crowns”).
Kjarval art occupied fictitious diplomat and grandmother walls in Snjóblinda, as Snowblind, even as it occurred perhaps on government-ministry’s and really, truly on temperance society walls.
State-treasury funds during the Hafstein ministry and youth club-raised money placed Kjarval in 40 Liverpool Street, Kings Cross for London-based museum and painting work winter 1909.
Alþýðusamband Íslands’ (Romanized Alþýdusamband Íslands, “The Icelandic Confederation of Labor”) fishermen members and fishermen outside Reykjavík (“smoky bay”) trade unions quested Kjarval learning by living abroad. Entrance scores, fishermen money and four-year performance (1913-1917) rendered Kjarval among Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi (“Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts”) graduates in Copenhagen, Denmark (1917/1918). Artist output, official training and support networks sent Kjarval to study art histories and styles as a temporary resident of Italy (1918-1920) and of France (1928).
Kjarval, from 1922 onward, trekked between Reykjavík, whose Hólavallagarður (Romanized Hólavallagardur, “holy slain enclosure”) cemetery tends his tomb, and Selfljót (“large river”), whose fishing tempted him.
 |
| A humble hut allowed Kjarval, every summer from 1922 onward, to ally sometimes, to alternate other times artistic output with fishing careers. The Metropolitan Museum of Art angles among its acquisitions a lava-field painting, the oil on canvas Lava at Bessastadir (1954, “bear place”), presidential residence in Höfuðborgarsvæðið (Romanized Höfudborgarsvædid, Greater Reykjavík, “The Capital Region”) in Reykjavíkurkjördæmi (“Reykjavík Constituency”). Amazon Woman of the Mountain (1961), Hvítusunnudagur (1919, “Whitsunday”), Forest Palace (1918), From Thingvellir (1957, “From the Assembly Field [of the Icelandic Parliament]”), Kiddi og jeg (1950, “Chris and I”) and The Sisters of Stapi (1948, “The Sisters of [the] Headland, Promontory”) are artistic examples that attest to Kjarval appreciating country, outdoor Iceland; July 9, 2011, image of Jóhannes Sveinsson Kjarval's hut on Borgarfjarðarvegur (Road 94), northeastern Iceland: Ymblanter, CC BY SA 3.0 Unported, via Wikimedia Commons |
