The Website has a Whistler
online Exhibition, based on the Whistler show from 17 August to 26
October 1996, and a searchable Database.
In 1906, Rodin presented a bronze bust of St. George (other versions
are known as The Byzantine Empress or Bust of a Young Warrior) to the
University of Glasgow, who had given him a honorary degree. The work was
based on a portrait of Camille Claudel created in the late 1880´s; by
1904, when Rodin modeled St George, Claudel had already left him. In
1912, another cast was presented by the French people to the USA to be
integrated into a monument to commemorate the discovery of Lake
Champlain by Samuel Champlain 300 years before. Only when Rodin
presented the Head to the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1914, it was
patriotically renamed "La France".

The permanent collection features Welsh, British, and European
paintings, sculptures, and ceramics.
Rodin work in permanent collection:
Walking Man, bronze
Fallen Angel, bronze
The Museum also holds work by the Welsh paintress Gwen John, who was
Rodin´s model for the Whistler Monument and came to love Rodin
passionately - and desperately, as he lost his interest after some time.
"I am a Swiss writer and have published a novel about the Welsh painter
Gwen John and Rodin, describing at length the creation of Rodin's sculpture 'The Muse a Whistler' which lasted seven years and was never
completed."
For questions and support contact: Alexandra Lavizzari.
The book will be published by Heyne verlag, Munich.
