Rodin Sculpture Garden


The Rodin Sculpture Garden at Stanford University in Palo Alto is amazing. It features the work of Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) who was a French sculpturer who at the time of his death was one of the world's most renowned artists:













It was amazing to see all of these pieces and the Rodin Sculpture Garden at Stanford is amazing place and the price is great. It is free.

    I had assumed this would be in Paris! I didn't realise they were all over the world (the Rodin gardens, not the sculptures) #TravelTuesday

    I'm pretty familiar to his work. Lots of Art History classes. Thanks for sharing. He certainly had an understanding of the human form!

    What amazing talent to take a piece of marble and find the statue inside :)

    Your post on 'My Corner of the World' is great to see this week!

    I've only seen The Thinker before - I didn't realize he was so prolific and that his work was outside France. Thanks for updating my knowledge Patrick.
    Thanks for linking up with us at MLSTL and I've shared on my SM :)

    Patrick,

    First off thanks for stopping by yesterday and joining my #WildWednesdays linky party. Excellent photo share and what an interesting place to visit. You're just not going to believe this but today sketch I found inspiration using Rodin's The Thinker sculpture to doodle my own take. I call mine, She Thinks. :)

    What beautiful pieces. There's something really wonderful about enjoying art outside of a gallery or museum. They seem different when outside. Thank you for sharing this with the #DreamTeam.

    The form and structure is incredible. Some of these look as though they could come to life. And, at the right price too! #teamlovinlife

    Oh wow, Patrick, these sculptures are quite impressive. I love the giant heads! Do you know what they are made of? I really like the consistency that they are all black. Very cool. And there’s nothing better than a cool sightseeing activity that is free! Thanks for sharing and linking up!

    The faux body hanging from the building is pretty eye opening.
