Hans Lynge

Regarded as one of the most important figures in the history of Greenlandic art, Hans Lynge found his greatest inspiration from the people, nature and mythical world of Greenland, in his capacity as sculptor, painter and poet.

Childhood memories, myth and historical events are central themes, and woman and mother both favoured motifs in the work of Hans Lynge, an artist well aware of his duel role in the preservation and renewal of culture.
