True Nature / Auguste Rodin exhibit at Oklahoma City Museum of Art

     I went to see the Auguste Rodin exhibit at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art on Tuesday July 18th. I love how involved and detailed, I guess you can say, large exhibits such as this are, because there were so much to look at not only from Rodin himself, but other artists that were associated him. There are paintings and sculptures from other Impressionist artists such as Edgar Degas, Paul Cezanne, Monet, and Renoir in the exhibit, among other artists, as well. It makes sense thinking about it now, but I wasn't totally aware about how closely Rodin, Degas, Monet, Cezanne, and Renoir were with each other. However, they were in the same social and artistic circle, so I should have put two and two together I guess. I was excited to be able to see and witness the sculpture called the Shade, which is the sculpture pictured here in the blog. I remember seeing this on the covers of textbooks and in art history books over the years. I was kind of hoping to see The Thinker sculpture while I was there, but it wasn't in the exhibit itself. That's quite alright, though, there were so much other art from Rodin available there.

     The exhibit itself took the entirety -- just about-- of the third floor of the museum. I did spend the time to explore the other exhibits there at the museum, so ended up spending three hours total there. I was so sore after I was done. My back was calling it quits by the time I got back to the house.
