Thinker

Visited Philadelphia’s Rodin Museum.  From DreamWorks, I learned that young artists often struggle with drawing hands well.  It didn’t surprise me to see Rodin experimenting with their representation on a large scale.There was a distinct emphasis in eroticism that I had never noticed until seeing multiple Rodin pieces side by side.Even this etude of Balzac’s musculature was unsparing in it’s nudity.Most striking for me was an assemblage (or pile, really) of discarded, experimental heads from his work The Burghers of Calais.  Seems like it would make a good album cover.
