About the Item
Åke Holm, Sweden. Woodcut on paper. The Apostles Peter and Andrew.
A biblical subject depicting two male figures – identified as the apostles Peter and Andrew – standing by a balustrade decorated with fish motifs. The stark contrast of black and white surfaces highlights Holm’s characteristic reduction of form, combining monumental simplicity with symbolic depth. The fish motif alludes to the Gospel of Matthew (4:19), where Christ calls the brothers to become “fishers of men.”
Visible size: H. 15 cm, W. 20 cm
Frame: H. 19.5 cm, W. 24 cm
Signature / date: Signed “Åke Holm” lower right
Period: 1970s
Condition: Good condition
Åke Holm (1900–1980) was a Swedish sculptor, ceramicist, and printmaker, trained at the Technical School in Stockholm. He worked in ceramics, painting, and graphic techniques, but is especially known for his religiously inspired works. His style combines archaic simplicity with strong symbolism. Holm’s works are represented in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm and in numerous Swedish church collections.
