Hans Lynge (born 1906 in Nuuk, died 1988 in Haderslev) was a Greenlandic writer, dramatist, painter, politician, printmaker, and sculptor.[1] Many of his sculptures involve mothers or indigenous heroes, but he also did official sculptors of well known Greenlanders. His paintings draw on similar themes of Greenlandic legend and mothers[2] while having the European influence of Impressionism.[3] He played a role in the history of Greenland theatre as well.[4] He also wrote several books depicting Nuuk.[5]
His father was pastor Niels Lynge who was a painter in his own right.[6]
