Description

Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943) was (and remains) Norway’s greatest sculptor.

I have posted some of his “larger” works from Vigeland Park in Oslo earlier this year (in the late spring) and I found them truly “awesome” in terms of size and beauty. Yesterday I visited the museum dedicated to this artist; it was formerly his workshop / studio that was built and provided by the city of Oslo (in his later life) on the condition that all his works were left to the city.

The works I found there, and the history – not only of the man and his life, but also how such works (often enormous!!) where achieved, were also amazing… If I have a “blues day” I shall go back for a visit – to be inspired.

I am sharing three works (well 4 if you count the two different sized sculptures of the same..) in the hope that I can share the beauty of his works with you… More (and different styles / media) to come in the future from this location…
