After The Thinker, Modern Carved Wood Sculpture, ca. 1960s
About the Item
Permanently exhibited at the Musee Rodin in Paris, ‘The Thinker’ (French: Le Penseur), the original Auguste Rodin’s bronze sculpture of a heroic proportions depicts a nude male figure sitting on a rock, in the pose of deep thought and contemplation. This modern interpretation of the world-known masterpiece of a brilliant sculptor to a large extent resembles the original that inspired the contemporary artist. However, upon closer inspection, it turns out that this is a completely different work in conception, reflecting despair and suffering rather than philosophical reflections.

- Sculpture Sandstone Carved Figurative The ThinkerLocated in BUNGAY, SUFFOLKThe Thinker Mid-Century Modern, sandstone sculpture depicting a seated man, artist unknown This Mid-Century Modern interpretation of The Thinker interprets the pain, release and liberation associated with free-thinking. The man conveys vulnerability, tenderness and acceptance, his body yielding into the support of the chair creating a sense of rest and peace. Provenance: Private Collection acquired from The Hidden Gallery, Scotland Measures: Height 50cm.,20" Length 33cm., 15" Depth 22cm., 81/2" The Thinker - Auguste Rodin (1840 -1917). Cast made by Fonderie Alexis Rudier in 1904. Transfered to the musée Rodin in 1922. When conceived in 1880 in its original size (approx. 70 cm) as the crowning element of The Gates of Hell, seated on the tympanum, The Thinker was entitled The Poet. He represented Dante, author of the Divine Comedy which had inspired The Gates, leaning forward to observe the circles of Hell, while meditating on his work. The Thinker was therefore initially both a being with a tortured body, almost a damned soul, and a free-thinking man, determined to transcend his suffering through poetry. The pose of this figure owes much to Carpeaux’s Ugolino (1861) and to the seated portrait of Lorenzo de’ Medici carved by Michelangelo (1526-31). While remaining in place on the monumental Gates...Category
