About this artwork

Pelle the Conqueror Top View

18 in

Wood

Before 1949

One of Baskin’s very earliest extant carvings, Pelle the Conqueror depicts the eponymous protagonist of Martin Anderson Nexø’s great proletarian novel from Denmark, a work that Baskin found profoundly moving. In the midst of his fascination with Communist ideas, Baskin is also attracted to Pelle’s individualism, chafing at the confines of the ideology he is simultaneously embracing.
