Vigeland : the power and feeling of sculpture

Gustav Vigeland (1869 1943) is a unique and towering figure in Scandinavian art history. Influenced by antiquity, the Middle Ages, Renaissance and not least Auguste Rodin, he still struck out his own path and broke new ground. The book marks the 150th anniversary of Vigeland's birth. Gustav Vigeland s sculptures and portrayal of life have never appeared so close and so expressive.
