About the Item
This plaster-sculpture by Tore Strindberg is a preparatory work for one part of the big fountain, The five continents, placed in Gothenburg, Sweden. Tore Strindberg studied at the Royal Mint under Adolf Lindberg from 1898 to 1902 and at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts from 1902 to 1907. During his time at the academy, he participated in De Fries' exhibition in Stockholm in 1904 and in Axel Tallberg's etching school. After his studies, he spent a period in Paris before returning to Sweden, where he created an altarpiece for Hjorthagen's chapel and made stucco reliefs and wooden sculptures for Engelbrekt Church in Stockholm.
Strindberg is best known for his bronze sculptures in a classicist and realistic style from the 1920s and 1930s. Apart from the sculpture, "Crocus", his best-known public work is "The Five Continents", a monumental fountain on Järntorget in Gothenburg, which was unveiled in 1927.
Strindberg participated in several international exhibitions, including in Venice, Vienna, Reykjavik and Copenhagen, as well as in exhibitions arranged by the Swedish General Art Association. He was awarded a scholarship from the Winqvist Fund from the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in 1925 and a cultural scholarship from the City of Stockholm in 1960. His works are today represented at the National Museum, the Moderna Museet, the Thielska Galleriet in Stockholm, the Rottneros Sculpture Park, the Gothenburg Museum of Art and the Malmö Museum.
