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.
Rodin could do anything as a sculptor. Amazing talent.
ResponderEliminarIt'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.
