Preview - The Art of Being Magnus Agustsson
From a documentary in progress by New Savvy Productions. Dr. Magnus Agustsson is a sculptor from Iceland living in New York.
Dr. Magnus Agustsson is a fascinating Icelandic physician and sculptor living and working near the waterfront in Kingston, New York. The eighty-seven-year-old artist sculpts beautifully detailed and emotionally evocative statues in many styles, sizes, and themes — from classical works to pop culture busts, whimsical subjects, animals, mystical creatures... a seeminly endless array. His work has been featured in New York and Washington D.C. galleries and shows. With his dynamic life history, his staggering range of experiences, and his enlightened wisdom, he also offers philosophical insight into many subjects. We spent several hours over two days with the doctor and his wife Diane (a painter and designer in her own right), documenting their work, their thoughts, and the contents of their fine art gallery. The movie is forthcoming by January 2012.
