    Description

    Bjorn Wiinblad (Danish,1918-2006)

    Undine
    Mid 20th century
    Ceramic
    Unsigned
    96 x 26 x 26 inches (243.8 x 66.0 x 66.0 cm)

    This Danish ceramic figural fountain entitled Undine by Bjorn Wiinblad is a female figure with three bowls of decreasing size stacked on her head. It is unmarked. With his oriental interest transformed into fine art, Bjorn Wiinblad created masterpieces through interpretation of mythical figures. In Undine, the female water sprite who could steal men's souls through marriage, Wiinblad uses the figure on top of which he places three bowls creating a fountain. With her outstretched arms, the towering Undine beckons the unwitting male to her embrace.

    Provenance:
    Acquired from the artist in 1965.
