Ásmundur Sveinsson, The Nose (The Land Guardians)

 

The Nose (The Land Guardians), Undated

According to Ásmundur Sveinsson’s words in an interview book by Matthías Johannessen, this sculpture depicts a series of noses which face all directions. The Nose is also known as The Land Guardians. Here, Sveinsson experiments with cubist forms. The four land guardians are the protectors of Iceland: they are the bull, the eagle, the dragon and the rock-giant.
