    I recently listened to a National Gallery of Art lecture on Rodin

    http://dl.luxmedia.com/nationalgallery/audio/051011nl01.mp3

    I found two aspects of the lecture interesting:
    (1) how different materials used for the sculptures influenced their ability to communicate, and
    (2) how his reproduction process increased his productivity.
