MB Meets World

I loved learning a bit about the process of creating a cast for a bronze sculpture. The cast could be used repeatedly.

Rodin was accused of creating casts by putting the materials directly on people. He was so insulted that he started making hands and feet disproportionately large.

Many casts were on display because Rodin cared more about the process than the final product. The casts helped me understand the process better, though it seems super complicated and I just understand a thimbleful!

I also enjoyed seeing the garden and sculptures referenced in the Louise Penny/Detective Gamache book set in Paris!
