Auguste Rodin

I like this sculpture by Rodin titled Mask of the Man with the Broken Nose (1863-1864). It is made out of bronze. I like how Rodin captures an imperfect being, with the broken nose. It takes away from the symmetry. I like the detail in the statue, such as the wrinkles and the facial hair. The metal adds shine and depth to the sculpture. I wonder how one goes about creating a metal statue.
