Summary: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
Comment: I love the topic: the sculpture of Ursula von Rydingsvard, so I had to give this book at least 3 stars. I am less than satisfied with the way the author continually refers to elements of Ms. von Rydingsvard's remarkable history rather than art history. I wonder how many readers would be interested to know more of the artist's interest Giotto. This is only touched on in the interview-not at all in the analytical essay. Maybe a little scholarship could be directed here, and leave out some of the tabloid sensationalism. The connections to Giotto or any of her other artistic influences would certainly broaden the means of interpreting her work, whereas the references Brenson makes to von Rydingsvard's childhood serve to limit our understanding leading us to believe that this sort of knowledge is the essential key to it's meaning. I don't believe this to be so. Even though there are too many black and white plates, I confess to buying this book for the pictures. If you can't see von Rydingsvard's sculpture in person, you will find this an economical introduction to her work.
