Homage to Sólon í Slunkaríki
Sólon Guðmundsson (1860-1931)
was a worker and eccentric poet in Isafjorður, a hermit and peculiar in
his ways, named after his house, Slunkaríki. In his later years he built
a hut, where everything was to be opposed to the traditional, the
corrugated iron on the inside and the wallpaper on the outside.
Asked
why, Sólon answered: "Wallpaper is for decoration, dearest, and
therefore it´s sensible to have it where most people can enjoy it."
Sólon died before the construction was completed. |
