Previous sculpture of the week



Franz Xaver Messerschmidt has a very peculiar story. He is a sculptor from 1736 but with a modern style. In fact this guy has made almost exclusively self-portrait. I think that his bust are fascinating.

I saw the exposition of Messerschmidt in the Louvre museum (Paris), it was really amazing. To see these head in real, Wow ! Really expressive !

Previous sculpture of the week

It's a more classic one, but you can't ignore the work of Rodin. There is a Rodin museum in Paris, if you can you must go and see it. It's wonderful, I spend half an hour in front of "the hell gate", just staring to each detail. I take the image of the Danaïde because this woman geting out from the stone is marvellous.
