 | Norwegian sculptor, born in 1869 in Mandal and died in 1943 in Oslo. |
| The most famous Norwegian sculptor, who studied in Oslo, Copenhagen,
Paris and Italy. |
| He developed a naturalistic style in the direction of expressive
stylisation. He then worked on the massive project that took most of his
life, a series of allegorical groups at Frogner Park in Oslo, made of
bronze and granite. They include a 17 meter high column representing the
passage of humanity through the world. |
| ..."Sculpture is boring. It is big, devoid of detail, and totally
covered with bird droppings. Or so I thought until I saw this Vigland
guy's stuff. Yes, it is still big, devoid of detail, and man the birds in
Oslo eat a lot, but... this is some very powerful stuff. I'm afraid my
pictures can't possibly do this work justice." |
