von d tattooed on miami ink? the one with the latin inscription “here all mistrust must be abandoned and here must perish every craven thought”
Auguste Rodin
* Rodin started work on this project in 1880 on commission from the French government, and it was one of his major works he tackled as his lifework. From this work were created many separate works such as “The Thinker.” The work displayed here is a cast of the original made at the request of Kojiro Matsukata. It was installed in 1959 in the front garden of the National Museum of Western Art to coincide with its opening. The Museum was designed by Le Corbusier to display the Matsukata Collection returned by the French Government after the war. Currently six bronzes of this work exist throughout the world.
