Rodin: Light and Shadow

Rodin:  Light and Shadow opened on July 5 at the Monterey Museum of Art in California.  With works borrowed from the Cantor Collections and from the Guardian Stewardship, the Museum described this as an interactive exhibition for all ages in a gallery setting meant to evoke Rodin’s Parisian studio.  The Foundation loaned a group of Rodin’s portraits to the show; included are Bust of Jean Baptiste Rodin (the sculptor’s father in the guise of a Roman statesman), Bust of Saint John the Baptist, and Mask of the Man with the Broken Nose, one of Rodin’s earliest and most famous pieces.
