FEATURED ARTWORK

MAIN NO. 39, bronze with dark brown patina, Study for Left Hand, inscribed "A. Rodin No. 11  E. GODARD FOND. ©BY MUSÉE RODIN 1977". With label from Dominion Gallery, Montreal, Canada. Size: 5 ⅛” high, 7 ½” including base.

August Rodin is widely considered to be one of the greatest and most prolific sculptors of the 19th and 20th centuries - the last great classical sculptor and the founder of modern sculpture. Rodin turned away from the Neo-Classicism favoured by his contemporaries and instead emphasized fragmentation, rejected idealism, and chose to reflect his subjects as they truly appeared. He was inspired by Michelangelo who used the body to convey emotion as in his intentionally unfinished sculpture series Slaves and ancient Greek and Roman sculptures. Rodin meticulously modeled hands and other elements of the body such as heads, limbs, hands, torsos and feet, using them to convey an infinite variety of emotions including fury, anguish and fatigue.

FEATURED ARTIST

“Royal BC Museum acquires rare painting from B.C.’s first professional Black painter.” - written by Elizabeth McSheffrey for Global News

It’s the newest gem in the Royal BC Museum’s collection of more than 10,500 works of art — a painting of the Victoria Harbour, made in 1883 by Grafton Tyler Brown.

The museum is celebrating its acquisition of Entrance to the Harbour as part of Black History Month. It was one of Brown’s few works while he lived in the city.

Brown is widely considered to be the first professional Black painter in B.C.

“As far as we know, to date, Grafton was the first Black artist to paint an exhibit here in Victoria and in the province of B.C.,” Royal BC Museum art and images curator India Young said.

“What is interesting about Brown is that over the course of his travels, he really shifted his identity.”
