Stone Wall Hanging by Åke Holm
Stone wall hanging by Åke Holm.
Åke Holm (1900-1980), is one of 20th century Sweden’s leading potters. Höganäs and the surrounding area were essential to his work, but he was also inspired by Jais Nielsen, Christian Berg, Patrick Nordström and Picasso. Modernism and tradition melted together in a reading, dreaming potter, a rascal and fine judge of character. Humour and music were central in Åke’s life.
In his lifetime he was woven into celebrations, legends and tall tales. Åke’s aversion to visitors and selling to stressed tourists became local legend. Sometimes he didn’t even sell to the king of Sweden. The sign with “Closed for the year” was hung on the door and the best items hidden away.
The artwork appears to be a a mythological scene featuring x3 men and a snake. It has been painted and is ready to hang on a wall.
Signed on the bottom.
