https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2019/08/02/how-rodin-kept-his-feet-on-the-ground/ This article explains how <i>The Thinker</i> was meant by Rodin to represent the bodily extendedness of mind as opposed to its being abstract - an irony considering how most of us think of the statue now. The article itself (~9 min read) mainly tells a story about the <i>foot</i> of the statue. Makes for an interesting read for its own sake. Excerpt: Why, then, are the Thinker’s feet, as Rodin specifies, “drawn under him”? Because they are <i>grasping</i> the rock. This thinker is thinking with his feet as well as his head. “And the man sitting,” as Rilke observed in his beautiful little book on Rodin, is “thinking with his whole body.”
Biography
François Auguste René Rodin (12 November 1840 – 17 November 1917) was a French sculptor generally considered the founder of modern sculpture. He was schooled traditionally and took a craftsman-like approach to his work. Rodin possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, and deeply pocketed surface in clay. He is known for such sculptures as The Thinker, Monument to Balzac, The Kiss, The Burghers of Calais, and The Gates of Hell.
