The Thinker is a renowned sculpture by Auguste Rodin. It has heavy roots in greco-roman culture, obvious from the body size depicted and familiar muscle tone in statues of ancient Greek gods. The original sculpture was made of bronze and turned green as time went on. The aging process is often considered when bronze casting, it makes the art seem older, and sometimes commands reverence. Not only does the material used seem to radiate strength, but the man depicted also appears to be heavily built
Rodin Like most artists, Rodin was not an overnight success. Even though he was rejected numerous times from art schools because of his art style, he prevailed in the end. Rodin, like many artists, got their inspiration from other great and famous artists. In Rodin's case, his inspiration came from Michelangelo. In Rodin's more famous works, one can see the similarities between the two artists' artwork. Rodin's parents were not wealthy, therefore, he was not able to attend an art school of his

two pieces of art that I have chosen to compare reside in Toronto’s ‘Art Gallery of Ontario’. While the two pieces are very different in terms of artistic medium and period, the painting, “The Academy”, by Kent Monkman, makes direct reference to Auguste Rodin’s sculpture “Adam”.

selfless are tasks that most people do daily and without fail. Whether it be on purpose or intrinsic, the act of altruism happens all the time.

famous myth in the sculpture, Perseus with the Head of Medusa (1545). Like Medusa, Camille Claudel used her sight to craft daring sculptures that pushed the boundaries of the social propriety expected of a woman. Like Perseus grabbing Medusa’s head, Auguste Rodin took on Claudel as a studio assistant who had the unique ability he lacked, carving marble. Through their tumultuous relationship, the two sculptors

John Maynard Keynes refuted the many statements made by Auguste Comte and Friedrich Engels, simply he described social sciences as “illogical” and “dull.” Thus, without providing any sufficient evidence, he had not proven that, in fact, sociology is not scientific. Auguste Comte regularly compared sociology to other familiar forms of science, like biology, physics, and chemistry. In doing so, he made the assumption
