Bibliography
“Dans cette série des œuvres en métal, nous n'aurions garde d'oublier les petits bronzes de M. Vallgren. Quelques-uns aussi sont destinés à des adaptations de l'électricité ; d'autres sont des coupes, telles que cette coupe soutenue par des femmes ; d'autres de simples figurines presque toujours très spirituelles ; d'autres des vases tels qu'une urne funéraire accompagnée de deux figures d'anges dont les profils se marient étonnamment avec la forme générale de l'objet”. Emile Molinier, Les objets d'art aux Salons, Art et Décoration, July 1901, pp. 29
“…..Bien moins sûr me paraît l'art de Vallgren, qui fut autrefois plus naïf en ses statuettes de Bretonnes, qui se démène aujourd'hui, s'amenuise et se dessèche, et plie le corps humain à des contorsions improbables, mais qui rencontre aussi une bien jolie inspiration en cette urne funéraire, d'une forme fruste et significative, et dont les anses sont formées par deux anges aux longues ailes repliées, telles deux hirondelles en deuil, posées sur un étroit rebord”. Maurice Hamel : La petite sculpture aux Salons de 1901, Revue des Arts décoratifs, 1901, pp. 262 and 263
” Vallgren est resté lui-même, c'est le meilleur compliment à lui faire ; il faut noter dans ses envois une urne funéraire en bronze d'un beau style que l'artiste a exécutée pour lui-même, elle est destinée à contenir ses cendres “. Eugène Belville, L'Art Décoratif, 1905, vol. I, p. 246.
