RODIN EXHIBIT AT MONTREAL MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS

Thinking about the thinker! I have seen this statue (or at least a version) in the Rodin garden  in Paris. I did not realize that it was Dante! I took my daughter to the exhibit, and she did not enjoy it. I tried to point out the big pieces like this one, but she was overwhelmingly grossed out by the preponderance of limbless headless statues! I don't think I have ever seen an exhibit so quickly! Thankfully my membership allows me to return for a solo visit for a little more detail! Look at the muscles in his calves! The thoughtfulness in his pose. Le Penseur. Magnifique!
