Quezi's articles are supposed to stand alone without the pictures, which add visual interest. The "life imitating art" in the image is simply the visual effect of the person and the sculpture both leaning back and viewing the artworks. Larry, you’re reading too much into this!

I don't understand the connection between Rodin's statue of Balzac and "Life imitates Art." (From the Brooklyn Museum of Art, I believe.) Statue also seen here: http://www.bluffton.edu/~sullivanm/rodin/Balzac.html The general interpretation is that he doesn't just have his hands under his cloak but also in his pants, supported by this study for the statue: http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/111469 New York Times reported back then: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9407E4DB1738E433A25752C1A9609C94699ED7CF And more recently: http://www.nytimes.com/1998/08/15/style/15iht-balzac.t.html?pagewanted=1 One has to have seen the statue to understand the problem. Life imitating Art? Regards, Larry Hi Roger,

Since nothing much is happening at Uclue, I have been enjoying reading and looking here.

I don’t understand the connection between Rodin’s statue of Balzac and “Life imitates Art.” (From the Brooklyn Museum of Art, I believe.)

The general interpretation is that he doesn’t just have his hands under his cloak but also in his pants, supported by this study for the statue:

New York Times reported back then:

And more recently:

One has to have seen the statue to understand the problem.

Life imitating Art?
