The Man and His Thought SculptureAuguste Rodin

53
Auguste Rodin’s plaster sculpture, ’The Man and His Thought’ (1896), explores the relationship between human form and intellectual depth. It is a cast of the marble original in Berlin. Donated by Rodin in 1916, the piece exemplifies his skill in depicting the tension between physical presence and abstract thought, a recurring theme in his work.
