Gojmir was born in Gorizia (which at the time was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire), where his father Franc Kos, a renowned historian of the surroundings of Škofja Loka in Carniola, taught at the prestigious state gymnasium. His mother was a Friulian from the Austrian littoral. Gojmir's elder brother, Milko Kos, became a famous historian and rector of the University of Ljubljana.
Gojmir studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna with professors Rudolf Bacher and Julius Schmidt. At the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire he completed the last semester of studies at the University of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb, where he earned his degree in 1919. He also passed the exam qualifying him as a drawing professor. In 1924 he moved to Ljubljana where he taught at high schools. After World War II he was appointed professor of drawing at the local Academy of Fine Arts that had just been founded, remaining there until his retirement in 1962. From 1948 to the spring of 1949 he also directed the Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana.
Gojmir's paintings remain mainly landscapes, portraits, monumental scenes from the history of Slovenia (displayed at the Slovenian Presidential Palace), figurative compositions and still lifes in which he excelled. He favored oil on canvas, although in the early years he had also created some illustrations for books and some posters and some furniture. In his works the contrasts of light and color are emphasized more than the realism of the images.
Gojmir Anton Kos won numerous awards for his work, including two Prešeren prizes: one for his oil painting “Dekle s harmoniko” (“Girl with the Accordion”) in 1947, and another for his oil painting “Avtoportret” (“Self-Portrait”) in 1950. In those same years he participated in the Venice Biennale. On December 6, 1949 he became a member of the Slovenian Academy of Arts and Sciences.
