Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes:
The piece is likely inspired by the Scandinavian legend of Skadi, reimagined in French by Frédéric Dobritz in his 1887 book Contes et légendes scandinaves. In Dobritz’s adaptation, Skadi, originally a Winter Giantess, is transformed into an ice fairy, or Fée des Glaces. According to the tale, Skadi’s devotion to winter made her unable to endure the heat or the sight of greenery, causing her to melt into water and merge with the ocean. As a reward for her kindness, Odin arranged for her to marry Njord, one of the gods of the sea.
