Babb
Babb&nbsp;is a lively mobile that refers to the material world of sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson and his development as an artist. Varied materials that characterize different time periods in his artistic creation perform a balancing dance and enliven the environment.

Ásmundur Sveinsson (1893-1982) was one of the pioneers of Icelandic sculpture. His artworks manifest the Icelandic narrative tradition, society and nature. Many of his works are accessible in public spaces in Reykjavík. It was the artist's opinion that art belongs to the masses.&nbsp;

Babb

Shadow
The shadow of Ásmundur Sveinsson's sculpture&nbsp;Giantess&nbsp;(1948) turned into cast iron. The giantess becomes a shadow on a table, a plate under hot vessels. Ásmundur said that trolls reminded him of mountains and that the mountains were trolls. The interplay of man and nature in Ásmundur's work takes on countless images and is a source of endless ideas and emotions.

Shadow

Owl, Undated
Owl&nbsp;carries clear author characteristics from Ásmundur Sveinsson with its solid form. His work usually contains a distinct reference to nature, history or literature. The owl was one of the distinctive symbols of Athena, the goddess of wisdom in Greek mythology. Sveinsson’s&nbsp;Owl&nbsp;is preoccupied with gaining knowledge by reading a book.

Worship, 1941
Quite a few sculptures by Ásmundur Sveinsson show the connection between mother and child, and the mother is often prominent. Ásmundur was greatly inspired by women and depicts their many sides in his work. In&nbsp;Worship, the female appears as the noble mother who embraces her child lovingly and in protection. This is one of the last sculptures which the artist created in his home at Freyjugata in Reykjavík.

The Ásmundur Sweater
The Ásmundur Sweater&nbsp;has been&nbsp;on sale at the Reykjavík Art Museum shop at Ásmundarsafn since 2015. Various photos&nbsp;show&nbsp;sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson in a black and white patterned, knitted sweater. It was decided to recreate this sweater in Icelandic wool with knitter Sigurlaug Helga Emilsdóttir, who drafted the pattern, and master knitter Birgir Einarsson, who designed the final version of the sweater. The sweater is produced by&nbsp;Varma&nbsp;for the museum shop.

This typeface is inspired by Le Bifur by&nbsp;Cassandre&nbsp;and is a tribute to Icelandic sculpture. There are many similarities between Cassandre and Ásmundur, such as the heavy contrast in shapes in Le Bifur&nbsp;that can be found in Ásmundur's&nbsp;abstract sculptures.
