#4 Venus de Milo Guitar

"What secret emotion invades me before the meditated grace of this design! Ineffable passages of light into shadow! Inexpressible splendors of half tones! Nests of love! What marvels that have not yet a name in this sacred body! Venus Genetrix! Venus Victorum! O, total glory of grace and genius!" - Auguste Rodin, writing about the Venus of Melos in the New York Times, December 8, 1912
