Gustav Vigeland Sculptures and Life
I have not visited Oslo yet. The rest of my family went years ago. It was life altering for them to discover the Gustav Vigeland sculptures there. I knew from their stories that pictures, images do not convey the scale and intensity. For just a taste see this website:

Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943) is a Norwegian sculptor whose work portrays the full range of the human life cycle and the wonderful diversity of intimate relationships among men, women and children of all ages—truly the family of humankind.
Oh how beautiful! I knew nothing about him and went to the page :) I've sculpted a few times with clay and taken some classes... I love it. It's messy and creative.
ReplyDeleteOf course... my crude ashtrays and Phantom of the Opera masks... would never compare to Gustav :) Admiration nonetheless. Uber cool!
