We visited the Rodin Museum when we were in Paris last year. The Gates of Hell was especially interesting to see in person, but all his sculpture has his unique qualities about them.

Rodin in that first photo looks a bit like a murderer. [grin]
Heaven only knows why he chopped his hair off like that – maybe he was doing to it what he reckons was his methodology of sculpting, eh ?
And what a scuptor ! – what an enormous talent !
