So, when I started to think about the assignment the first piece of art that came to mind was The Thinker. The family used to visit Golden Gate Park decades ago and this sculpture was sitting out in front of the aquarium,
as I recall we could even climb on it. It obviously impressed me and it ends up being a nice example of the lost wax process of casting. The thinker also has an interesting iconography, when the background of the artist and his times are considered. I think most impressive is the intensity of the subject, he is deep into it. The story behind the sculpture explains why.
