The Joslyn Museum´s Website features the collection´s
bronze Eve, with an introductory text by Claudia Einecke:
"Eve was created for Rodin's largest commission,
The Gates of Hell. (...) His Eve is an embodiment of shame and
contrition, as she half buries her head in her arms and twists away from
our gaze. (...) The woman's deep psychological anguish is powerfully
communicated in her tense, inward-folding pose, while the tortured,
lumpy modeling of her heavy body mirrors the torture of the soul.

Drawn from the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery's permanent collection,
"European Master Sculptors" showed works by Auguste Rodin,
Constantin Brancusi, Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Barbara Hepworth,
Henry Moore, Marino Marini, and Medardo Rosso, among many others, plus
additional graphic work of these sculptors to underscore the historical
relationship between two and three dimensional representation.
Upon request, the Museum informed me in 1997 about its
Rodin works in the permanent collection:
Charles Baudelaire Portrait
Victor Hugo drypoint
Lithograph Jardin des Supplices
