We saw the Gates of Hell by Rodin at Stanford! 1 word: masterpiece. At first, it reminded me of Ghiberti's bronze doors coming alive, three-dimensionalized, and breaking out of their rectilinear confines. I'll have to mull a bit about what my final impression is. Adam and Eve flank the doors, which I can't wait to visit in the day time. I was sad in Paris not to swing by the Musee d'Orsay or Musee Rodin, but this totally makes up for it!
I have to thank R so much for a sensational experience of viewing lighted Rodin bronzes at night.
