Early Modern Sculputre

Auguste Rodin 

   Rodin works are excellent! Just look in every little detail and features in the "Man with the broken nose" sculpture. He did know what he was doing! I really don't know much about sculpture but I can distinguish a hard work. And if you have a doubt just look at "The thinker" sculpture, how do you do that? Look at the muscles that are well defined and they never look exagerated or fake, this is a great work besides the size of it, I imagine that it tooked a time to do it. And talking about time, that what he lack? His unfinished sculptures were very well done but they didn't had a some part or weren't finished. But I liked that because it gives it kind of mistery to the sculpture or a different meaning from what it should represent. Moving to "The Burghers of Calais", this sculpture is complety different. I love this one, I liked how Rodin represented the anguish in the different person and how each one represented. And seeing this sculpture while hearing Mahler's symphony no.4, it's not a great idea.

Camille Claudel

   Wow! I didn't expect that, Claudel "Maturity" it's incredible, soon I'm going to be out of adjectives! I liked a lot, you can see how she contrast the bodies of male and a woman then a kind of angel trying to take away the guy. And finally the woman begging the man to stay. If you haven't notice I don't like the small sculptures, I admit that they are good but that Claudel did well but that isn't what I like.

Gustav Mahler

   I heard all the symphony no.4 and man, it was amazing! As I already say previously in a post, I like a lot classic music and I enjoy it a lot. Mahler symphony is a great composition, it had it differents moments of intensity. It start as a good song with a good rhythm then it goes up and then falls. The songs seems to end at moments but they are just parts. There is a part of calm where it's just an instrumen about the minute 30-35 its kind of sad (there's where I was doing the part of Rodin) and then the rhythm goes up again and at the end there are vocals that mix together perfectly, its a pretty good composition.

  1. Rodin could do anything as a sculptor. Amazing talent.

    It's perfectly OK that you like the bigger sculptures better. Everyone can't like everything!

    I'm glad you enjoyed the Mahler symphony. He is a composer I have liked a lot ever since I discovered him in high school.
