viggo, the artist
i had a dream about viggo mortensen last night. NO, not one of those dreams.. but i was walking down the street with a friend and there was viggo, standing in the street painting. he introduced himself and i asked him about his books 'SignLanguage' and 'Recent Forgeries' and where i could get it because it was out of print or too expensive. 'Dream' Viggo was nice enough to give me his copies..
so that brings me to this morning - i've been reading more and more about viggo mortensen's art and the more i see, the more i like
"A song for BK", 1999"
"Modern man's belief that he is the only intelligent species has not been good for film" (Tolkien)so far i've only seen stuff online,
here and
here aswell as a few other random places..
but anyway, i'm going to hunt down his books and put it on my wishlist. it's interesting to see the layers and layers to his work - photography, paintings and poetry alongside acting and being a great father. good mix.
