Sculpture Time

_C286568

Allright.  Inside the legion, time to take photos like nobody's business.

Ooh, look at this stern bearded man.  I bet he was a philosopher of some sort.

They did really well to create so much space in such a relatively small building.  Really gave one a chance to experience the art in a grand space.

The main gallery space was exclusively dedicated to Rodin.

Backside Rodin. Their mooning you.  Mocking you.  Ha.

_C286580

She's a part of a clock on a marble mantle.  Now that's showy.

Ready to sail the seven seas.  Explore, discover, conquer.  All naked, with a cape.

More pomp!  I wonder if it was a wig?

 _C286586

A hauntingly deep stare from such a delicate face.  And a smudge, I think some ass touched the sculpture.

 _C286588

Kat and Claude sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g.  Actually, that would be really disgusting.  Monet has been dead for years now.  Monet was certainly Kat's favorite.

Before watching "Straub" I would have thought she's in glass to protect her from being stolen/touched.  Now I would guess its to prevent her from being covered in dust.  Imagine cleaning all those nooks and crannies of her detailed blouse and jewelry.

Another intense look.  Wonderful artists these sculptors.

_C286591

Naked and ready for war.  Probably Scottish.

 _C286594

Contemplation of the art on the outside.  We actually didn't walk on that side of the building.  Odd.

_C286599

We'll finish with this fat and happy little Buddha.  My favorite piece in the porcelain gallery.  Enjoy, jon
