A characteristic graphic work by Åke Holm, where the stylised figures and bold contrasts clearly reflect the artist’s expressive visual language. The motif is interpreted as David with the harp facing King Saul on his throne – a classical biblical scene here reduced to monumental, angular forms in dramatic contrast.
Åke Holm (1900–1980) was a Swedish sculptor, ceramicist and printmaker, trained at the Höganäs Stoneware Factory. He is especially known for his ceramic figures and graphic works, often inspired by religious motifs and classical narratives. Holm developed a distinctive style of simplified forms, strong contrasts and monumental expressiveness. His works, including interpretations of biblical scenes such as David and Saul, are today sought after on both the Swedish and international markets.
