The Walking Man c. 1889, date of cast unknown Bronze 33 x 20 ¼  x  20 in. Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation Once thought to be a study for the work Saint John the Baptist Preaching, The Walking Man is considered to be one of Rodin's most innovative works. Combining the legs from the sculpture of Saint John the Baptist with a ruggedly modeled torso, Rodin creates an assemblage that joins the natural and the unnatural. The naturally modeled legs together with the mutilated and worn look of the torso create a sculpture that lacks a narrative connotation and focuses on the body's suggested sense of motion.
