Rodin’s Stunning Sculptures on Display In Montreal


by Sienna Vittoria Asselin

Many consider Auguste Rodin to be the father of modern sculpture; his realistically modelled human figures evoke the tragedy or passion within each subject. A new exhibition at the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts focuses on exploring the metamorphosis of the French artist’s works in progress through displays of his famous pieces, like The Walking Man, and original sketches.
