“Nature is the supreme architect. Everything is built in the finest equilibrium; and everything, too, is enclosed in a triangle or a cube, or some modification of them. I have adopted this principle in building up my statuary, simplifying and restraining always in the organisation of the parts so as to give the whole a greater unity.”
Frederick Lawton, The Life and Work of Auguste Rodin, 1907.
