Korriró and Dillidó – Ásgríms Jónsson’s folklore works
An exploration of Ásgrímur Jónsson’s folklore works in the context of their importance to the nation’s cultural heritage. The National Gallery conserves a great variety of treasures worth exposing to the daylight and sharing with the public. Amongst these are Ásgrímur Jónsson’s folklore works which provide an invaluable insight into significant elements of the nation’s visual heritage. Ásgrímur was the first artist to visualize the elves, trolls and ghosts that had lived in the Icelandic psyche for centuries. These works appeared both in exhibitions and books in the first years of the twentieth century.
