Erro, Iceland s most prominent painter, receives long overdue
critical attention for his contributions to international Pop, late
Surrealism, and contemporary figurative painting in this sumptuous
monograph. Since introducing exclusively source-image-based painted
collage to the European Pop movement in 1959, Erro has produced an
influential body of work mining cartoons and art history on
canvases marked by political satire and his own cheerfully
dystopian observations of human nature. Prescient and timely, Erro
s paintings are marked by a voracious consumption of imagery
synthesizing a hallucinatory vision of contemporary visual culture.
Often compared to Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, and Roy
Lichtenstein, Erro s multifigure narratives, refusal to commit to a
singular style, and obsession with cartoons set his practice apart.
An essay by Ruba Katrib connects Erro to today s
figurative-painting practices, and a chronology by Danielle Kvaran
traces his wild figurations of history and subjects, ranging from
Winston Churchill to contemporary music icons. Newly photographed
details and a concentration on Erro s canvases of the last ten
years offer a fresh perspective to his European audience and a
welcome introduction for his American one.
