John Lundqvist

Johan (John) Anders Lundqvist[1] (2 October 1882 – 2 June 1972) was a Swedish sculptor.

John Lundqvist first studied at Tekniska Skolan (today Konstfack) and was thereafter assistant to Christian Eriksson between 1907 and 1913.

His inspiration is collected from French sculptor Auguste Rodin and gothic sculptures, but there are also clear similarities to Carl Milles.

John Lundqvist mainly devoted himself to church decorations, such as Uppståndelsemonumentet by Heliga Korsets kapell at Skogskyrkogården in Stockholm, Sweden.

[2] Other famous works include Uppståndelsen (at Nationalmuseum)[3] and Orfeus, pilot studies of Uppståndelsemonumentet, the crucifix at the Swedish church in Paris (1926), Job, Två människorI (1923), and the fountain composition Forskarlen (1933, for Laholm municipality).
