Ti invito a percorrere un viaggio nel tempo attraverso il cerchio della vita di cui ho voluto dare una personale interpretazione solo per brevi cenni che accompagnano il mio servizio fotografico realizzato nel 1974 ... anche perchč, cosė come per l'extraterreste, sono sicuro che di commenti non ne hai bisogno!

Gustav Vigeland Norwegian sculptor
born in 1869 in Mandal and died in 1943 in Oslo

The most famous Norwegian sculptor, who studied in Oslo, Copenhagen, Paris and Italy.

He developed a naturalistic style in the direction of expressive stylisation. He then worked on the massive project that took most of his life, a series of allegorical groups at Frogner Park in Oslo, made of bronze and granite. They include a 17 meter high column representing the passage of humanity through the world.

........"Sculpture is boring. It is big, devoid of detail, and totally covered with bird droppings. Or so I thought until I saw this Vigland guy's stuff. Yes, it is still big, devoid of detail, and man the birds in Oslo eat a lot, but... this is some very powerful stuff. I'm afraid my pictures can't possibly do this work justice."   John Kalucki

spend a visit in Oslo, Norway

Oslo seems rather generically European at first, but it grows on you. The city is really pretty, clean, and quite small by capital city standards. There are only 450,000 people in Oslo -- heck, there are only 5 million folks in all of Norway.
