Der er en vildt flot beskrivelse af hvem fotograf Olafsson var: "Magnús Ólafsson (1862-1937) was the Reykjavík photographer par excellence, and his pictures make an important contribution to how Icelanders perceive their land. Ólafsson's photos span the first three decades of the 20th century. These are photographs that shift between documentary and fairytale, and provide a unique insight into a vanished world: people leave Reykjavík Cathedral in their Sunday best, men jump from ice-floe to ice-floe on Reykjavík Harbour, children run down Laugavegur, the fire brigade holds an exercise on Austurvöllur, women spread saltfish to dry on Vesturgata, a football spins on Melavöllur in 1915 – and then Magnús rises up above the community to take the first aerial photograph of Reykjavík.
Magnús was a man of many talents: an impassioned photographer - a professional in the field after the age of forty - he also played the organ and the violin – playing in a quartet that held the first ever violin recital in Reykjavík – held film shows, and is believed to have made the first ciné film in Iceland. Magnús was a man of action and conviction, a pioneer who realised that he was living through a period of upheaval, and succeeded in preserving a part of that time for posterity." KILDE: HER. |
