[OVERVIEW]
Born Guðmundur Guðmundsson in Iceland, he assembled fragments from political propaganda, advertising, comic books, science fiction, pornography and canonical painting. Mao appears in New York. Che Guevara shares the page with machinery and superheroes. Van Gogh, military vehicles, domestic interiors and anatomical diagrams are pulled into the same crowded field.
The method is accumulation rather than quotation alone. Images from incompatible systems are placed together until their original authority begins to break down. Political certainty becomes spectacle. Consumer abundance becomes congestion.
Published by PARCO in 1979, this Japanese volume reproduces works from the 1960s and 1970s in color and black and white. The selection includes the American Interior, Scape and Inscape groups, together with paintings based on Pop imagery, military propaganda and art history. Art critic Ichiro Hariu contributes the Japanese text.
