Nr. 24: Mann kaster kvinne
Nr. 24: Mann kaster kvinne is a statue by Gustav Vigeland in Frogner Park, Oslo, within the Vigeland installation. This sculpture belongs to Oslo’s public art landscape.
Vigeland’s wider installation explores human bodies, relationships, emotions, and life stages through sculptures in granite and bronze. Its title names a forceful encounter between two figures.
Vigeland uses strong lines and realism to give carved or cast bodies a vivid physical presence. Strong poses give the figures a sense of movement.
The statue stands among outdoor works arranged around the Monolith Plateau, a granite area with steps and sculptural groups. Granite shapes the Monolith and surrounding groups.
A low granite balustrade and wrought-iron gates frame the plateau within the larger Frogner Park setting. Frogner Park brings sculpture and nature together.
The Vigeland installation presents scenes without plaques or explanations, leaving each encounter open to interpretation. The Vigeland Museum holds Vigeland’s sketches and models.
