This month in honor of the 30th anniversary of the #AmericansWithDisabilitiesAct, we're inviting disabled artists to respond to a work from the #MetCollection that sparks their curiosity or inspires them.
Today, Alice Sheppard (@wheelchairdancr) shares her thoughts on Auguste Rodin's "The Walking Man":
"The visuality of texture in his body—both rough and smooth—invite me to touch him. I might describe 'Walking Man' as without a head and both his arms, but I prefer to think of him as a torso, back, shoulders, and legs. Rodin claimed an 'aesthetic of the incomplete.'
It is not the absence of limbs that suggests disability here, but the contrasts. Disability is not just a recognizable representation of a disabled person, it is also legibility, power, bodies, time, and space. Does the fraying torso invoke impairment, age, or are we misreading the energy of his legs? Where, if anywhere, is a stable center from which to begin?"
🎨 Auguste Rodin (French, 1840–1917). The Walking Man (L'homme qui marche), modeled before 1900, cast before 1914. Bronze, green patina. #MetAccess #ADA30 #DisabilitySolidarity
[Image description: In glowing shades of bronze and green, tinted with highlights of gold and grey, two legs and a torso with curved shoulders stride energetically. The tension of his muscles is revealed in the harder contouring and ridges of his muscles. The smoothness of his leg and upper back muscles gleam in stark contrast with the almost fraying textures of his stomach and chest—the descending fragments suggesting genitalia where there are no details.]
