The Viggo Mortensen Gallery

“You can look at life as a poem, a story, and you can see yourself… In moments like that, you find not only lessons for your own life, but you find something beautiful in ordinary life, something that links you to the past and to the future.”
-Mortensen, 2001

This is just a small tribute on my page to the great Viggo Mortensen. We won't even get into Lord of the Rings here. And as great as the movies are, many of you may not realize that there is so much more to this exraordinary man. Not only is he an actor, but a painter, photographer, poet, musician and writer as well... he does it all, and he does it all extremely well.

Please proceed to see what I mean.

(note: most of the following examples of Viggo's work were taken from The Musings of Viggo or The Many Faces of Viggo Mortensen, but I don't feel guilty because they, as I have done, used the following with much respect but no permission.)
