The infinite rage of fishes to have wings

Two exhibitions at the Royal Academy.

Modigliani - familiarity does not dilute how much I like his paintings.

Rodin - different. A huge exhibition. I feel indifferent to most of the sculptures, but love the photographs of these same works in the studio (and indeed the postcard reproductions). The forms seem easier for me to comprehend in two dimensions rather than three. So I'm certainly missing the point!

Rodin, The Gates of Hell (detail)
