About this work

Description

The tonic La Fitina (from the name, presumably a form of phytin or phytic acid, found in the seeds of many plants and cereals) is poured, in the form of forked lightening, on to Rodin's "Le penseur" and electrifies it: the effect is shown through the loose and vigorous technique in which "Le penseur" is drawn
