Rodin the Thinker Man Sculpture portrays a powerful laboring man. The giant stooped and bent his knees. His right hand rests on his chin, contemplating the tragedy that unfolds below. His deep eyes and the gesture of biting his lips into his fists showed a feeling of extreme pain. He longed to sink into “absolute” meditation. So he tried to shrink and bend that strong body into a ball. His muscles are very tense. We could observe that he is not only engrossed in thinking but also in distress.
Introducing Thinker Man Sculpture:
A man sits alone on a rock, absorbed in thought. He leans forward, elbows on his knees, hand resting on his chin. He looks focused, his gaze intently cast downwards. This bronze Thinker man statue, known as ‘The Thinker, represents creative thinking at work. Although seated, he does not rest.
