Skipper Clement 1927

"Skipper Clement" is a 1927 sculpture by Danish artist Anders Bundgaard, depicting a man leading a group of people. The work, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, is a poignant example of Bundgaard's realistic style. The sculpture’s composition, with its emphasis on the leader's strong posture and the followers' dependence, suggests themes of guidance, unity, and possibly even sacrifice, inviting viewers to ponder the complex dynamics of human relationships. This small-scale, 27.2 cm high plaster sculpture is a testament to Bundgaard's keen understanding of human emotion and his ability to capture it in his artwork.
