See also: Erro

Erró (born Guðmundur Guðmundsson the July 19th 1932 has with Ólafsvík, Iceland) is a Artiste Postmoderne.

“My first name of artist was Ferro. I had found it following a voyage in Spain, in 1952. I had then lived a week in a village, Castel del Ferro. I had found this name very beautiful, more especially as in Icelandic, `' iron ro'' means `' the peace which leaves''. I did not know however that in Montmartre there was a Brazilian artist, Gabriel Ferro. However there is a law in France, period of Vichy, which stipulates that the foreigners cannot take the name of an already existing artist. I thus had a lawsuit, which I lost twice. With Jean-Jacques Lebel, one then thought of writing this name with three `' R'', but that was not accepted. Finally, with the court, one decided to remove the `' F''. That rained me. And in Icelandic `' er ro'' wants to say `' maintaining it is calm''”. Interview by Henri-François Debailleux, in Release, Saturday, August 27, 2005. He studied the art of 1952 to 1954 with Reykjavík then with Oslo in Norway and Italy, and lived Paris, in Thailand and on the island of Formentera for most of his life. He settles in Paris in 1958 when he meets the surrealist ones, Breton but also Brauner, Masson, max Ernst, Man Ray and Miro, Giacometti and Duchamp.
