Rodin: The Human Experience

An impressive showing of over fifty sculptures by Auguste Rodin are on display at the Dixon Gallery until 1/4/2015. All of the pieces are part of and funded by the Iris & B Gerald Cantor Foundation. Before entering the gallery, the massive “The Three Shades” of Dante’s Inferno are on display in front of the main door. The “Large Hand of a Pianist” is one of the most memorable displays. The two female forms of “The Illusionist” appear to almost fly off its mount. In a small gallery, two large Shades appear to melt around the heavy loads they are cursed to carry. This is definitely one of the finest, most ambitious display ever at the Dixon. It should not be missed.
