Raphael De La Ghetto on...........
Hello my nubile, young and flexible friends.
I , Raphael De La Ghetto, have returned to shed some expert light on another piece of art. Today I have chosen to discuss The Thinker sculpted by August Rodin. It shows a figure many believe to be inspired by Michaelangelo and Alligheri. The figure was to be the top of a portal to a larger piece called "The Gates of Hell," which explains why the head, hands and knees all projects past the feet. What I don't understand is, the sculpture has tensed feet, and open hands, what is he thinking about? Perhaps open-faced roast beef sandwhiches. Join me next time when I discuss the Girl With Pearl Earring.
I remain,
Raphael De La Ghetto
