The Thinker And The Gates Of HellThere's a statue most of us have seen at some point, even if we can't immediately place where. Auguste Rodin's The Thinker has become one of the most recognized images in Western culture, and for good reason. The figure is strong, capable, self-possessed. He sits alone, deep in thought, as if the answers to life's greatest questions are just one more moment of reflection away. He is the ideal of the post-Enlightenment man: guided by reason, defined by his own greatness, needing nothing outside himself to become everything he was meant to be.It's a compelling image. Many of us have, at one point or another, seen ourselves in it.But the longer we live, the more that image fails us.Careers plateau. Marriages are harder than we imagined. The beauty and strength we once had quietly fades. We look inside for the strength to overcome, and we find more disappointment than we expected. The rugged individual who can think his way to his best life turns out to be a myth, and we feel that in our bones even when our culture keeps selling it to us.This is exactly where Ephesians 2 begins. Paul doesn't ease into the bad news. He leads with it. “You were dead in your trespasses and sins.” Not lost. Not broken. Not misunderstood. Dead. It's the most severe word he could choose, and he means for us to feel the weight of it, because dead people cannot heal themselves. Dead people cannot improve themselves or save themselves. A dead person needs someone else to do all the work.That is the diagnosis. And it matters, because good news only lands with power after the bad news has hit.Then come two of the most important words in all of Scripture: But God.“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us, made us alive with Christ, even though we were dead in trespasses.”The whole passage turns on that pivot. Before it, the focus is on us, our condition, our failure, our death. After it, the focus shifts entirely to God. And that shift is the entire point of the gospel.Look at who does the acting in this passage. God loved. God showed mercy. God made us alive. God saves. Christianity is not a religion that puts God at the top of a mountain and hands you a list of things to accomplish if you want to reach Him. It's the story of God coming down the mountain to find you where you are.That's grace. It's a gift, not a wage. Not something earned. Paul is explicit: “For you are saved by grace through faith. This is not from yourselves, it is God's gift. Not from works, so that no one can boast.”Faith, simply put, is trust in a person. It's the posture of someone who stops white-knuckling their own life and leans into the arms of a Father who is strong enough to carry them. If you've been trying to manage your sin, outrun your shame, or earn your standing before God through sheer effort, this passage has a word for you: lay it down. You're laboring under a burden you were never meant to carry.And here's where the story of The Thinker takes a turn that matters.What most people don't know is that Rodin never considered The Thinker his masterpiece. That statue was actually designed to sit at the top of a much larger work: The Gates of Hell, a massive, towering set of doors covered in more than 180 individual figures. The Thinker wasn't made to stand alone. He was always part of something bigger.So are we.Ephesians 2:10 says we are God's workmanship, created for good works He prepared in advance. The point of salvation isn't self-actualization. It's being placed by a master artist into a story far larger than ourselves. The people around us aren't background scenery. They're the good works God has already prepared for us.The gospel isn't a monument to human achievement. It's a monument to divine mercy. And the life that flows from it isn't about becoming the best version of yourself. It's about stepping, freely and joyfully, into the work God has already set before you.

Send us Fan MailThis episode will cover a fascinating and little known period in the art history of Paris as told in the book titled: "The Club - Where American Women Artists Found Refuge in Belle Époque Paris". I will interview Jennifer Dasal, author of the book, who will share fascinating highlights. You will learn about what was essentially a boarding house in Paris that supported a generation of independent American women artists as early as 1893 for a number of decades. These women were a broad mixture of artists - in all fields of artistic talents - painters, sculptors, etc. The "Club" allowed them the opportunity to interact with other famous and established artists like Mary Cassatt and Auguste Rodin. I was interested in "The Club", since my book, the biography of miniature portrait artist, Amalia Kussner - covered a similar time period. And there was indeed some interesting overlap in content between the two books - such as with sculptor Auguste Rodin.Note: Some of the works of the impressive sculptor, Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller, who is discussed in this episode, can be seen at the Danforth Museum, in Framingham, MA.Jennifer's Website link is here or www.jenniferdasal.com.

Leurs œuvres, qui incarnent la force du corps et la profondeur de l'âme, se rencontrent dans une confrontation inédite où se révèlent continuités comme ruptures.L'exposition Michel-Ange Rodin. Corps vivants, réunissant plus de 200 œuvres met l'accent sur des enjeux formels et conceptuels qui aboutissent à une même ambition : rendre visible l'énergie intérieure du corps. Le corps apparaît comme enveloppe et peau de l'âme, matière vivante soumise au temps et au geste. Ce parcours interroge aussi la postérité de ces gestes : comment la réécriture de l'antique et l'usage des corps ont préparé les ruptures du 20e siècle ?En montrant filiations, emprunts et détournements, l'exposition propose une lecture sensible des mythes des deux génies et invite à repenser la sculpture non pas comme un élément qui « fait forme » mais comme un laboratoire d'innovations artistiques. Aux chefs-d'œuvre des maîtres répondent des œuvres maniéristes inspirées de Michel-Ange (de Vincenzo Danti, Vincenzo de Rossi, ou Pierino da Vinci), ainsi que des créations contemporaines fortes de Joseph Beuys, Bruce Nauman, Giuseppe Penone et Jana Sterbak, témoignant de l'actualité de cet héritage.L'exposition réunit marbres, bronzes, plâtres, terres cuites, moulages et une très riche production graphique grâce aux collections du Louvre, du musée Rodin et d'importants prêts de grands musées internationaux. Le parcours s'articule en cinq temps forts présentant les deux artistes, leurs sources d'inspiration, leurs relations aux matériaux de la création et leurs thèmes de prédilections, en suivant un fil rouge, celui du corps et de la vie.Cette réflexion se matérialise dès l'entrée du parcours, où cinq sculptures emblématiques — l'Esclave mourant et l'Esclave rebelle de Michel-Ange, chefs-d'œuvre du Louvre, et L'Âge d'airain, Adam et Jean d'Aire nu, échappé du Monument des Bourgeois de Calais d'Auguste Rodin — accueillent les visiteurs comme autant de corps habités par une énergie vitale puissante.

¿Conoces a la mujer que esculpió algunas de las obras más poderosas del arte moderno y cuyo nombre fue borrado durante décadas? En este episodio de Mujeres con Historia hablamos de Camille Claudel, escultora francesa del siglo XIX cuya vida está marcada por el talento extraordinario, la lucha por el reconocimiento en un mundo artístico dominado por hombres, y un destino que la convirtió en una de las figuras más injustamente olvidadas de la historia del arte. Discípula, colaboradora y musa de Auguste Rodin, Camille fue mucho más que la sombra de un genio. Fue una artista independiente con voz, técnica y visión propias. Pero la sociedad de su época no estaba preparada para una mujer como ella. Su historia es la de muchas: la de las creadoras invisibilizadas, las voces acalladas, las mujeres que pagaron un precio demasiado alto por atreverse a existir fuera del molde.

In Belle Époque Paris, the Eiffel Tower was newly built, France was experiencing remarkable political stability, and American women were painting the town and gathering at a female-only Residence known as The American Girls' Club in Paris. Opened in 1893, The Club was the center of expatriate living and of dedication to a calling in the fine arts, and singularly harbored a generation of independent, talented, and driven American women.Now in The Club: Where American Artists Found Refuge in Belle Epoque Paris (Bloomsbury, 2025), curator, art historian, and podcast host Jennifer Dasal presents the untold story of the Club, the philanthropists who created it, and the artists it housed. These women forged connections in the arts and letters with luminaries like Auguste Rodin and Gertrude Stein or became activists through their relationships with the likes of Emmeline Pankhurst. But just as importantly, these women's lives revealed the power of the Club itself, and the way that having a safe home for single women of ambition allowed them to grow as teachers, artists, suffragists, and people.

Auguste Rodin, celým jménem François Auguste René Rodin, byl jedním z největších sochařů 19. století. Narodil se 12. listopadu 1840. Ve své umělecké činnosti zúročil práci dekoratéra a štukatéra, jíž se ve svých začátcích živil. Vycházel ze studia antiky, gotiky, renesance i orientálního umění, ale za nejdůležitější pro svou tvorbu pokládal přírodu, z níž vycházel. Lidské tělo bylo pro něj nejvhodnějším prostředkem k vyjádření každého duševního stavu.

Marilena Garis"Rainer Maria Rilke. Luce sull'invisibile"Edizioni Areswww.edizioniares.itUn'inquietudine profonda ha segnato l'esistenza di Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), poeta dell'anima, la cui vita, contraddistinta da un incessante vagabondare geografico e interiore, si intreccia indissolubilmente alla sua opera. Nato a Praga nel 1875, cresciuto tra l'amore soffocante di una madre che lo vestiva come una bambina e l'austerità delle scuole militari imposte dal padre, Rilke sviluppò fin da giovane uno straordinario e complesso mondo interiore che sarebbe diventato il nucleo pulsante della sua poetica.Dall'incontro con Lou Andreas-Salomé, musa e guida intellettuale, ai viaggi in Russia che segnarono la sua spiritualità, dall'influenza di Auguste Rodin a Parigi fino al rifugio creativo nel castello di Duino e nella torre di Muzot, sulle Alpi svizzere, ogni tappa della sua esistenza fu un passo verso la creazione dei suoi capolavori, come le Elegie duinesi e i Sonetti a Orfeo. La sua poesia, spesso carica di immagini e metafore visionarie, ha innovato il linguaggio lirico del Novecento per aprirsi a un verso libero, che rispecchia il fluire dell'anima.Marilena Garis, in questa appassionata biografia, non racconta solo una vita straordinaria, ma anche un viaggio nei luoghi che plasmarono l'esistenza e l'opera del poeta.Marilena Garis (1976), giurista, cultrice della letteratura e della poesia, scrive per la rivista letteraria Pangea.

Der italienische Bildhauer Medardo Rosso revolutionierte um 1900 die Skulptur und ist heute dennoch relativ unbekannt – eine Ausstellung im Kunstmuseum Basel würdigt sein Werk. Wynton Marsalis ist einer der berühmtesten Jazz-Trompeter und ein unermüdlicher Kämpfer gegen gesellschaftliche Missstände. Selbst Kunstinteressierten dürfte dieser Name nicht viel sagen: Medardo Rosso. Rosso war ein italienischer Bildhauer, der die Skulptur um 1900 revolutionierte, ein Zeitgenosse des heute sehr viel berühmteren Auguste Rodin. Inwiefern Rossos Kunst wegweisend war und wieso er heute trotzdem relativ unbekannt ist – das zeigt jetzt eine beeindruckende Ausstellung im Kunstmuseum Basel, die in Kooperation mit dem Mumok Wien entstanden ist. Dort war die Schau bereits im vergangenen Jahr zu sehen – und wurde vom Kunstmagazin «Art» zur besten Ausstellung 2024 im deutschsprachigen Raum gekürt. Wynton Marsalis war auf seinem Peak einer der grössten Trompeter, die je gelebt haben. Noch wichtiger aber ist sein unermüdlicher Kampf gegen gesellschaftliche Missstände in den USA – heute mehr denn je. Als Kind erlebte er den täglichen Kampf seines Vaters gegen Rassismus, als junger Musiker definierte er «Jazz» eng als afro-amerikanische Musik und kämpfte dafür, dass die Tradition als solche respektiert würde. Musikalisch bald in unerreichbaren Höhen unterwegs, blieb sein Leben doch immer ein Kampf – und das «Jazz at the Lincoln Center Orchestra» wurde zu seinem Instrument gegen gesellschaftliche Windmühlen. Warum er diesen Kampf noch immer führt und was ihn beglückt an der Musik, das erzählt er in Künste im Gespräch.

Then, Ralph is joined by journalist Rachel Corbett to discuss her recent article for the NY Times Magazine "The For-Profit City That Might Come Crashing Down" about Próspera, the private, for-profit city off the coast of Honduras. Finally, our resident international-law expert Bruce Fein stops by to discuss Israel's recent coordinated attacks in Lebanon. Hassan El-Tayyab is Legislative Director for Middle East policy and Advocacy Organizer at the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL). Previously, he was co-director of the national advocacy group Just Foreign Policy, where he worked to reassert Congressional war authority and promote human rights in the Middle East and Latin America. He played a major role in the successful passage of the War Powers Resolution to end US military aid to the Saudi-UAE coalition's war in Yemen. I've been reading a recent statement that the Friends Committee has put out on the Gaza situation. They just can't seem to keep up with the massive expansion of Israeli state terrorism and the death and destruction that's being wrought on hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians, families, children, mothers, fathers, and the civilian infrastructure. [Their] effort on Capitol Hill—which is a longstanding feature of the Friends Committee on Legislation—seems hopelessly overwhelmed by the AIPAC-led Israeli-government-can-do-no-wrong lobby.Ralph NaderWe try to find common ground. As you know, the Quaker way is to believe that there's a spirit and light in everybody—whether we agree with them or not, we want to engage. And that's just a philosophy that we've had for over 80 years as an organization, and much longer than that as Quakers doing peace advocacy work going back hundreds of years. So we try to engage with everybody.

Episode No. 650 features curator Anne-Lise Desmas and author Jim Moske. With Emerson Bowyer, Desmas is the co-curator of "Camille Claudel," a retrospective of the French modernist sculptor's career, at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. Until now, Claudel's work has often been under-considered as scholars have focused on her professional and personal relationship with Auguste Rodin; "Claudel" foregrounds the artist's work through a presentation of about 60 sculptures. The exhibition is on view through July 21. Getty Publications has published a excellent catalogue. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $65-75. Moske is the author of "Deaths of Artists." The book uses two fragile scrapbooks in the archives of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York both to look at how newspapers in the early twentieth century covered the deaths of artists, and to jump off from that often sensational coverage to learn more about how artists were considered and remembered. The Met has recently digitized the scrapbooks that instigated Moske's examination. Amazon and Bookshop offer the book for about $37. Instagram: Jim Moske, Tyler Green.

William Ernest Henley's "Invictus"

Today's poem–benign anthem of the resilient human spirit or a hymn to radical autonomy?–has divided audiences for more than a century.Born in Gloucester, England, poet, editor, and critic William Ernest Henley was educated at Crypt Grammar School, where he studied with the poet T.E. Brown, and the University of St. Andrews. His father was a struggling bookseller who died when Henley was a teenager. At age 12 Henley was diagnosed with tubercular arthritis that necessitated the amputation of one of his legs just below the knee; the other foot was saved only through a radical surgery performed by Joseph Lister. As he healed in the infirmary, Henley began to write poems, including “Invictus,” which concludes with the oft-referenced lines “I am the master of my fate; / I am the captain of my soul.” Henley's poems often engage themes of inner strength and perseverance. His numerous collections of poetry include A Book of Verses (1888), London Voluntaries (1893), and Hawthorn and Lavender (1899).Henley edited the Scots Observer (which later became the National Observer), through which he befriended writer Rudyard Kipling, and the Magazine of Art, in which he lauded the work of emerging artists James McNeill Whistler and Auguste Rodin. Henley was a close friend of Robert Louis Stevenson, who reportedly based his Long John Silver character in Treasure Island in part on Henley.-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe
