Fragments but complete

“Study for Torso of Walking Man,’’ by Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), in the show “Rodin: Truth, Form, Life,’’ through Dec. 21 at the Fairfield University Art Museum, Fairfield, Conn., through Dec. 21.

This exhibition displays 22 bronze sculptures by the renowned sculptor. The museum notes he used a variety of materials to create his sculptures, but all used modeling to emphasize his personal response to the subject. Many of his sculptures are meant to be fragments, with heads, hands and torsos lacking the rest of the body. Rodin saw these fragments as complete works in their own right. He heavily influenced the development of 20th-Century modernist sculpture.

The museum is on the first floor of the renovated lower level of Bellarmine Hall, above, on the campus of Fairfield University, a Jesuit institution.
