The Art of the Brick™ Nathan Sawaya
Nathan Sawaya is a New York artist who creates artwork solely from standard LEGO brick and created many new works specifically for the exhibit featured at the American Swedish Historical Museum.
When a red-haired, horse-lifting, freckle-faced, nine-year-old girl leapt from the pages of Pippi Longstocking (Pippi Långstrump) in 1945, she quickly made her way into the hearts of children and adults throughout Sweden. Astrid Lindgren (1907-2002), Pippi’s creator, once said that she wrote for her own inner child, which perhaps speaks to Pippi’s success.
