The Nordic art in the 4th-5th century took a huge turn from its antique heritage. In the place of monumentalism came an intimate and storytelling art. It became richly decorated in patterns that can seem almost uncomprehensible today. This first volume focuses on the people, the Gods and the masks in the art and how it can be used to decipher the people of the day.

On the occasion of a touring exhibition of this Scandinavian artist’s work, this book gorgeously depicts the sculptures that led to his world renown, with essays on his life and work as well as his impressive home Millesgården in Sweden. Milles (1875-1955) was classically trained and his early work displays the influence of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture, in addition to the influence of Auguste Rodin, his teacher and mentor. Because he created numerous public works in the U.S., citizens from cities across the country still delight in his sculptures with their slightly abstracted human forms that convey a fanciful, perhaps Nordic, sense of the spirituality in his mythological, religious and imaginative subjects.
