	GoNorway - Famous_Norwegians_Gustav_Vigeland in Norway
		In December of 1882, Vigeland moved to his maternal grandfather´s farm with his mother and youngest brother.He moved because his father, who used to be a stern and devout religious man, had turned to drinking and became involved with a young woman.
		Vigeland´s thoughts and ideas about the fountain were expanding, he wanted to add more sculptures to the fountain.
		"Vigeland designed the architectural setting and the layout of the grounds with their far-stretching lawns and long straight avenues bordered by maple trees." The park as a whole is about life in general, but each group and individual statue represent an individual part of life and / or a specific stage in life.
