"Lone Cliff in the Sea, " Remarkable Sculpture with Nudes by Edstrom, 1901
About the Item
Clearly showing the influence of Auguste Rodin and the Art Nouveau movement, this remarkable bronze was sculpted by David Edstrom, a Swedish American artist. Here, a nude male figure is perched on the edge of a cliff, looking heavenward as a nude mermaid lies below, nude and full of invitation. Edstrom, the quintessential example of the tortured artist, grew up in Sweden and during his life divided his creative time between there and America. He worked for a time in Florence, where this bronze was sculpted, and was connected to German artists associated with the Berlin Secession. He also spent considerable time in Los Angeles after 1920. To our knowledge, this is the only example of this sculpture in existence. It is signed and dated.
