Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943), a Norwegian sculptor whose work portrays the full range of the human life cycle and the diversity of intimate relationships among men, women and children of all ages.
His style was influenced by Rodin.

He is a good sculptor. I personally find some of his sculptures wholly unnecessary, but I’m sexually conservative, so, I would.
NOTE: By sexually conservative, I am not indicating a bias, prejudice or discrimination towards people or things of or relating to transsexuality, bi-sexuality, homosexuality, or an other kind of sexuality. I am merely indicating that I very rarely (if ever) have an interest in the sexual affairs of others (other than in jest) and am generally unwilling to experiment sexually in my own personal life.
Prudish, I guess you could say.
I quite like some of these, some I don’t, but the column of bodies is quite cool, and in general that whole staircase with the sculptors all around looks like an interesting place to go check out…I suppose photographs don’t do sculptors justice, maybe more of a presence thing going on…either way where are these sculptors, Norway?
Thanks for posting…
It’s in Oslo, in Vigeland park.
Although Vigeland wanted the monolith to remain open to interpretation, the most accepted interpretation is that of a man’s struggle for existence and earning for the divine.
…the human affair…
This guy was inspired.
Brilliant stuff.
It’s Winston Churchill!
