Gustav Vigeland. the Power and Feeling of Sculpture Thiel Gallery 15 June – 29 September, 2019 Gustav Vigeland. The power and feeling of sculpture Thiel Gallery 15 June – 29 September, 2019 The human condition and the power of eroticism and melancholy were the underpinning themes for the Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland (1869–1943). He devoted his entire life to art and worked intently on completing his monumental sculptural projects. After a bohemian existence in 1890s Europe, he returned to Norway, to make portraits and innovative monuments. The final decades of his life were spent mainly on creating Vigelandsparken in Christiania (now Oslo). This exhibition seeks to give a fuller picture of the artist behind Vigelandsparken, Vigeland’s efforts to promote his artistic endeavours, and the importance of social networks. Vigeland was driven by his artistic visions, not least when it came to shape a public space for the existential quest of modern man. With its eight bronze sculptures, the Thiel Gallery has the largest collection of Vigeland’s art outside Norway. Four of these can be seen in the Gallery’s park: Man Embracing a Woman (1905), Man and Woman (1906), Old Man and Young Girl (1906), and Mother and Child (1907). Ernest Thiel supported Vigeland at a pivotal point in his artistic career. Their relationship is a fascinating aspect of the common Swedish-Norwegian cultural heritage. This exhibition is a tribute to the 150th anniversary of Gustav Vigeland, which is celebrated in 2019. Spiritual portrayal of bohemian and modern life Gustav Vigeland has a unique position among Norwegian sculptors, with a vast body of work and singular imagery focusing on mankind. He grew up in Mandal in southern Norway, but moved to Christiania when he was only 15, where he was apprenticed to a wood carver. After deciding to be a sculptor, he studied at Tegneskolen, the Norwegian university for crafts and applied arts. In the 1890s, Vigeland travelled around Europe to learn more. While studying in Copenhagen, one of his Danish artist friends, Ludvig Brandstrup, sculpted the portrait in this room. It shows Vigeland as a slender and serious young man, but the tousled hair suggests that he was intense and lively. During his six months in Paris in 1893, Vigeland encountered modern sculpture, visited Auguste Rodin’s studio and made friends with artists from all over Europe. Vigeland went to Berlin in 1895 and was admitted to the circles that frequented the inn Zum Schwarzen Ferkel (The Black Piglet), where he met the Nordic writers August Strindberg, Laura Marholm and Dagny Juel, the artists Edvard Munch, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Christian and Oda Krogh, and the Polish writer and mystic Stanisław Przybyszewski. They all shared a disdain for bourgeois ideals and an interest in erotic libertarianism, the mysteries of existence and radical art. The pleasures and emotional crises of modern life, particularly with regard to relations between women and men, became Vigeland’s main artistic themes. Violent motifs and hellish creatures were created alongside tender, loving scenes. The full emotional spectrum was to be portrayed, but without sentimentality or conventional romance. Portraits and networks. Models and national heroes In the years after 1900, Vigeland worked intensely on establishing himself as a sculptor on the Scandinavian art scene. He made numerous busts of prominent Norwegians in the arts, politics and academia, including the composer Edvard Grieg, the writer Henrik Ibsen, the explorer Fridtjof Nansen and the linguist Sophus Bugge. From the younger generation, he portrayed the radical author Gunnar Heiberg, and his own brother, Emanuel, who was also an artist. Som of these portraits reveal the nature of Vigeland’s hectic private life. Inga Syvertsen was Vigeland’s partner in life and work. She photographed his sculptures, assisted him in the studio, including plaster casting, and kept notes that are now an invaluable source of information. Alongside Syvertsen, he had a relationship for many years with the model Marie Nordby. Sweden and Norway were a personal union of separate kingdoms from 1814 to 1905. But there was a strong Norwegian movement for independence. Vigeland’s commissions are a testimony to the contacts between the two nations. They include a portrait of the Swedish King Oscar II, and the medal for the Alfred Nobel Peace Prize, which is awarded in Norway. Ernest and Signe Thiel were among Vigeland’s most important patrons; they corresponded and visited each other. The portrait busts are signs of friendship but also manifestations of the social networks that strengthened Vigeland’s position as an artist and Thiel’s reputation as an innovative collector. The animate monument. Symbolist sculptures When the Swedish-Norwegian union was dissolved in 1905, both countries grew more nationalistic, both in the arts and society in general. The Norwegian economic boom in the early 1900s gave more opportunities to build monuments. Gustav Vigeland worked on several sketches and drafts in parallel. A competition for a monument in honour of the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel was announced in 1902. The proposal submitted by Vigeland showed Abel travelling naked through the universe. The jury took a long time making its decision, and Vigeland was contacted meanwhile by the Swedish collector Ernest Thiel. He wanted to fund the artistic work of Vigeland and sent him an advance sum of SEK 2,000. After much deliberation, Vigeland’s proposal was chosen. The artist claimed that Thiel’s patronage had influenced the jury, which had feared that the work would end up in Sweden. Vigeland portrayed both historical and contemporary figures. The Norwegian priest and poet Petter Dass (1647–1707) stands on a high cliff and fights with his fist against a troll fish that has sunk its teeth into his foot. Henrik Wergeland (1808–1845) was a Norwegian writer and polemicist, celebrated for his linguistic contribution to the Norwegian language. The monument portrays the experience of cosmic ecstasy described in Wergeland’s later works – the poet is surrounded by the spirits of inspiration. The artist, writer and women’s rights activist Asta Hanesteen (1824–1908) was among Vigeland’s friends. His portrait shows her as a fearless, controversial woman who stood her ground in public debates. The composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1826) fascinated many European artists around 1900. The demonic creative force is visualised in the monument that Vigeland ordered to be made at his own expense. Gustav Vigeland’s impactful imagery and his poetic and dramatic portraits went against classical tradition. Instead of statues and memorials with uniforms, medals and attributes, Vigeland shows the inner movement of the subjects – the power of ideas and the strength of inspiration. The fountain. Artistic vision and financial support Sweden was enthusiastic about Gustav Vigeland’s art in the early 1900s. The newspapers covered his projects and exhibitions and collectors bought his works. This support in Sweden helped to strengthen interest in the sculptor’s work in Norway. In 1906, Vigeland launched his plans for a national monument in the form of a fountain to be erected outside the Stortinget Parliament in Christiania. A circle of trees adorn the bassin, with men, women and children entwined in their branches. The base is decorated with reliefs of naked people dancing, playing and fighting. In the centre, six muscular men carry a mighty bowl with water gushing over its rim. Human joy and misery are framed by the shifting natural surroundings. Vigeland campaigned for support to build it and sent photos of his proposal to Thiel, who offered to spread rumours to the effect that he wanted to buy the fountain and erect it in Sweden. Thiel told the daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter that the monument would be built, whether it stayed in Norway or not. He eventually contributed NOK 50,000 of the total NOK 250,000 needed to secure the project in Norway. “This is the happiest day of my life!” Vigeland replied. The fountain also got funding from the Municipality of Christiania and other financers, but the project was postponed. This was the beginning of the prospecting of what is now Vigelandsparken. Thiel and Vigeland plotted together by playing on the young Norwegian national spirit after the newly-won independence, and eventually got Vigeland’s grandiose park project started. The park. Human life as a Gesamtkunstwerk Gustav Vigeland is best known for the large park in Oslo called Vigelandsparken, although its official name is Frognerparken. It has more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and wrought iron and is a popular tourist attraction. The concept of developing this huge outdoor area originated in the 1920s. It was to feature four principal parts: The Main Portal, The Bridge, The Fountain, and The Monolith. The Monolith is the heart of the park, a 17-metre granite pillar cut out of one piece of stone. More than 100 nude figures illustrate man’s quest to transcend the earthly limitations – from surrender and fight to care and ecstasy. Around it are some 30 sculpture groups exploring human relations: from lovers meeting, and wild dancing and games, to conflicts between men and women. The most famous sculpture in the park is perhaps Sinnataggen (Angry Boy). The unbridled rage of the infant is portrayed as a primordial force. Livshjulet (The Wheel of Life) symbolises eternity and sums up the dramatic theme of the park: human life from cradle to grave, through joy and sorrow, accompanied by dreams, fantasies and the longing for freedom. It took until 1950 before most of the sculptures and the park’s architectural elements were completed. Craftsmen made the sculptures according to Vigeland’s instructions, and the artist was also clever at obtaining both public and private financing. The park is the result of the vision of one artist alone, but many women and men have contributed to making it come true.

  • Modernist Sculpture Parks and Their Ideological Contexts— on the Basis of the Oeuvres by Gustav Vigeland, Bernhard Hoetger and Einar Jónsson
    47 (4/2017), pp. 143–169 The Polish Journal DOI: 10.19205/47.17.8 of Aesthetics Małgorzata Stępnik* Modernist Sculpture Parks and Their Ideological Contexts— On the Basis of the Oeuvres by Gustav Vigeland, Bernhard Hoetger and Einar Jónsson Abstract The purpose of this article is to explore the ideological contexts of sculptural works by Northern modernists: Gustav Vigeland (1869–1943) from Norway, Bernhard Hoetger (1874–1949) from Germany, and the Icelander Einar Jónsson (1874–1954). The original iconographies of the Vigelandsanlegget in Oslo, Hoetger’s Platanenhein in Darmstadt, as well as Jónsson’s oeuvres collected in Reykjavik, will be interpreted in relation to wider discourses—i.e. Nietzschean influence, a particular taste for the esoteric (theosophy) and, last but not least, a noticeable aversion to classical form.

MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art Edvard Munch the modern life of the soul The Museum of Modern Art February 19-May 8, 2006 EDVARD MUNCH, the internationally renowned Norwegian painter, printmaker, and draftsman, sought to translate personal trauma into universal terms and, in the process, to comprehend the fundamental components of human existence: birth, love, and death. Munch's pri mary source of inspiration was his own life history, which was marked by romantic suffering, illness, and the death of some of his closest family members. But Munch was also a product of his time, inspired first by the bohemian community of his native Kristiania (now Oslo) and later by his association with the Parisian and Berlin avant-gardes. In the end, painting became a kind of religious endeavor for Munch, a means through which he hoped to "understand the meaning of life [and] help others gain an understanding of their lives." Munch was born in 1863, on a farm outside of Kristiania. His early work, consisting primarily of family portraits, was inspired by the art of the Norwegian naturalist painters, among them his mentor Christian Krohg.

  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.

  • Gustav Vigeland: Renowned Antiquity and Renaissance Sculptor Vigeland Park Covers Over 80 Acres in Oslo, Norway
    Gustav Vigeland: Renowned Antiquity and Renaissance Sculptor Vigeland Park covers over 80 acres in Oslo, Norway. There are 212 sculptures in bronze, granite or wrought iron created by Gustav Vigeland (1869‐1943). His sculptures were made between 1906 and 1942. It is the world’s largest sculpture park by a single artist. The park is open year‐round to the public because he donated all his works to the city of Oslo, where he died. The park was designed and architecturally laid out by Vigeland. The park was started in the 1920s but did not become a reality until 1949. The park has several sections shown and explained below. The park’s theme is the circle of life. Gustav chose the sculptures to be without clothes to not date them, therefore they are timeless. Gustav Vigeland was born Adolf Gustav Thorsen in southern Norway. His modest upbringing included a strict father, Eiesaeus Thorsen, a master carpenter. Thorsen was strict in religious matters, but also an alcoholic. After loosing money in a shipping investment, Gustav’s father opened a pub. His drinking caused his wife, Anne (Aanensdatter)Thorsen leave him with their three children and move in with her father. Gustav’s last name Vigeland, which he adopted in his 20s, is traced to a small far west area where he was born, a place called Vigeland (Viking land). As a youth he wanted to be a sculptor. He had learned to draw and do wood carving in school. His father’s death, but his grandfather’s care during his youth would later be seen in his sculptures.

    Universitetet i Bergen Institutt for lingvistiske, litterære og estetiske studier TEAT350 Mastergradsoppgave i teatervitenskap Vårsemester 2015 Skuespillerkunstens utvikling på Den Nationale Scene fra 1876 til 1918 med Octavia Sperati som orienteringspunkt. Tina Horrisland Engedal 2 Abstract In this master thesis I will examine the development in the art of acting at Den Nationale Scene in Bergen during the years 1876 to 1918. Actress Octavia Sperati and her work at the theatre will be the orientation point for analyses, based on her two books Theatererindringer and Fra det gamle Komediehus. The initial part of this dissertation begins with a historical view on the development of “natural acting” from the bourgeois tradition, starting in the 1750s, and up to 1876-1918. Further I will look at the conditions for a development in the art of acting at Den Nationale Scene during this period. These external conditions are the theatre building, the repertoire, the theatre managers and directors, the actors conditions for work and rehearsals and the audience and theatre critics. I will go through the years 1876 to 1918 chronologically and analyse specific performances that is relevant for a change in the art of acting. Mainly the change is towards a more natural form of acting, where the everyday life is portrayed on stage. My analysis shows that the contemporary dramatic poetry of mainly Henrik Ibsen and Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson sets the condition of how to act. The art of acting is in a practical tradition, that means that the actors does not get their education from theoretical acting schools and that there is no fundamental theories on how to act.
