The original iconographies of the Vigelandsanlegget in Oslo, Hoetger’s Platanenhein in Darmstadt, as well as Jónsson’s oeuvres collected in Reykjavik, will be interpreted in relation to wider discourses—i.e. Nietzschean influence, a particular taste for the esoteric (theosophy) and, last but not least, a noticeable aversion to classical form. Keywords early Nordic modernism, sculpture parks Anguish! Anguish! I am o’erwhelmed by heavenly visions and greatness of worlds by the motley whirl of the living.

    NORWEGIAN AMERICAN GENEALOGICAL CENTER & N AESETH LIBRARY Annual Report 2011 Norwegian American Genealogical Center, Inc. 2011 Annual Report GREETING FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS As we celebrate our fifth year of independent status, my board colleagues join me in thanking all our loyal members, vol - unteers, and patrons. You have helped make this worthy organization a vital place, and the leading resource of its kind. With your generosity, 2011 was a year of great progress, resulting from your important support for our operating budget, your gifts for special projects, and your assistance in building our Naeseth Chair Endowment. Late in 2011, Dan Huebner announced his retirement as board chairman, and I stepped into that role. Dan’s are large shoes to fill; his generous, thoughtful, and dedicated leadership is the guiding force behind the Center’s future. In recog - nition of his many contributions, we unanimously designated Dan as our chairman emeritus, and we are grateful for his continuing board service. At the same time, Dan demonstrated his enduring interest, this time by creating the Huebner Quasi-Endowment for operating reserves, as well as supporting all the expense for the acquisition, installation, and soft - ware for five new computer stations in the Naeseth Library. These new computing tools and the Huebner Quasi-En - dowment help guarantee a bright future for NAGC & NL. We all salute Dan with heartfelt thanks. 2011 produced several other special donations, including a major gift for operations from an anonymous foundation, through the recommendation of one of our board members. We also received, and invested, a bequest from the late LaMirth Geving Peterson.

    CulturalCultural NewsNews March 2020 Sons of Norway District Six Edition #007 Hilsen fra kulturdirektøren Greetings from Judy Immel, your Cultural Director; Spring appears to have arrived in Southern California; trees are blossoming, spring flowers are blooming and the sun is shining. The winter heavy rains have stopped but we still have occasional spring showers. The summer fruit trees are beginning to leaf out. Our temperatures are beginning to climb. Hope you are starting to experience some of the spring phenomenon in your part of District Six. The 2020 District Six convention will be here soon. Hope you are finishing your projects for the Folk Art Exhibit and Competition. Remember to label your projects with the proper style of art and your personal information so nothing gets lost. I am looking forward to all of the beautiful entries. We will also have a Bunad Parade. So get those Bunads ready. It is acceptable to wear an authentic Viking Costume. We will need to have your Bunads identified so the commentator can properly identify you and your Bunad, including the region it’s from. The Vikings had a big influence on the country of Ireland. Many place names, street names and harbors bear names that are both Celt and Norwegian. Check out the book review “Vikings in Ireland” by Morgan Llywelyn in this newsletter. Hope to see many of you at District Six Convention. Scandinavian Festivals 2020 Summer is the season for festivals, be they music, film or cultural. If you will be in Norway for the Sons of Norway's 2020 International Convention and are making it a vacation consider going to a Norwegian Festival.
