I really think this sculpture by Nils Aas (situated next to the magnificent theatre Den Nationale Scene, built in 1909 by architect Einar Oscar Schou) (oh, and have a look at the walk of the man in background as well), presumably trying to depict Henrik Ibsen, is the ugliest (ugly, as in "caricature-like in all its grumpiness and resembling a very indecent mix between a children's toy and a dildo") piece of figurative art I've ever seen.
... unless, of course, it's really a statue of the guy who governs this place:
The Sultan of Agrabah!
Yes, its really ugly! But luckily its rather small, compared to the gigantic park monster that dominates the central park of my town Gjøvik:

Anyway, for my post I got the idea to download my pictures at Wikimedia Commons. A great idea, because then the whole world can use your pictures!
