More information

Tyra Lundgren about this sculpture, No. 4. "Yellow Fish": "The yellow fish were born, as far as I remember, from the pen's play on sketch pads sometime when I searched for shapes of fish in all variations to find a movement and a closed profile line, which might seem worth trying. The expressive fish bodies and their ugly heads have always amused me since I bought my first lake as a model from a female fisherman in Helsinki in 1936 and made my first fish sculpture. The black and yellow drawing is probably a reminder of the brightly coloured South Sea fish, which I have sometimes seen flashing around in San Francisco aquariums. They must have been created in the mid-1950s. "
