"Man And Woman" by Gustav Vigeland,
Displayed at the Ekebergparken Sculpture Park in Oslo, Norway.
Gustav Vigeland depicts the charged relationship between man and woman in Man and Woman. Uncharacteristic of its age, the woman is the strong character in control of the situation. The man is kneeling before her and tries to keep her in his grasp. The sculptor depicts a man clinging to the knees of a woman, face turned away, while his fingers press into her calves. The woman pushes against his head and looks down. These poses express an intense tension and desire between the two naked figures. The intimate body language contrasts with the ambiguous facial expressions. It is through the body that the tension is expressed. This relationship between man and woman is an ongoing theme in Vigeland’s art, expressing pleasure, conflict and emotional crises.
