Auguste Rodin has always been my favorite sculptor. The way in which he captures the tension and life of the human body in such a passionate and unrestrained way has always appealed to me, and a few years ago I went to the Rodin Museum in Paris and it was one of the most enjoyable afternoon. I took a friend with not much interest in art and even less in Rodin but by the end she was a convert. The Museum is both indoors and out, and features many well known works such as The Kiss, The Gates of Hell and The Thinker. The mythical stories behind the work add to the energy and beauty of the pieces, and the sense of fantasy captured in a moment.
