Galatea by Nils Möllerberg, bronze, 1938
Galatea was the name of an ivory statue in Greek mythology carved by Pygmalion, that became his object of desire and subsequently brought to life by Aphrodite.
Nils Möllerberg was the son of Carl Möllerberg, who was a fruit grower and photographer on the farm Tomarp outside Kristianstad in Skåne, where Nils again settled at the age of 56. He studied with older artists, including in Copenhagen from the age of 16. He lived in Paris between 1919 and 1928 and was impressed by, among others, Aristide Maillol and Auguste Rodin, which is especially noticeable in his naked girl figures. He was awarded the Ester Lindahl Scholarship in 1923.
Nils Möllerberg, together with Johan Johansson, Emil Johanson-Thor, Tora Vega Holmström and Ivar Johnsson, was part of the southern Swedish modernist group the Twelve, which was active between 1924 and 1934. [1] Together with Bror Hjorth, he ran a sculpture school in Stockholm for a few years in the 1930s, where he was also part of the Color and Form group. He was married to the visual artist Inga Möllerberg-Hellman (1898-1971), a member of the Academy of Fine Arts from 1931 and was named professor in 1953.
