the Singapore Art Museum's Rodin - A Magnificent Obsession - exhibition, is quite frankly.. magnificent! Auguste Rodin's lifelong study of the human form and expression, coupled with his imagination and extraordinary style, had me totally mersmerized by the bronzen statues and masks yesterday morning, as i managed to catch a glimpse of the truely world-class exhibtion before rushing into work... some of the sculptured works exuded so much expression and intensity (of sorrow and despair mainly) that one can barely tear one's eyes away from just staring at them in wonderment....

wow, imagine having one of Rodin's sculptures at home!! if i'm really a collector, i'll probably get one of the really expressive masks or a replica of the Thinker... so i can look at it every now and then and just.. ponder... as Rodin says.."What makes my Thinker think is that he thinks not only with his brain, with his knitted brow, his distended nostrils and compressed lips, but with every muscle of his arms, back and legs, with his clenched fist and gripping toes."... wow.. pretty intense, huh? :p

for those who missed the exhibition (which is free, btw) which ended yesterday, here's Rodin's Thinker In Lego....
