[edit] Vandalized Statue

I know that the statue in Cleveland was partially destroyed by a bomb in the 1970s (or so I was told as a child), but I'm looking for an official source so that the information can be added to this page. The only information that I have to that effect is having actually seen the damage to the sculpture. SailorAlphaCentauri 15:59, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Size

How big is it? Cutler 19:27, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Model?

Is it known who the model was? --04:19, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

There probably wasn't one. 24.225.131.191 01:43, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pineal gland

I've reverted an anonymous unsourced assertion. If Rodin was aware of the pineal gland in producing this sculpture it needs to be tied to his voluminous correspondence or other published material. --Wetman 08:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Real sculpture?

There's a Rodin exhibition [1] near me (Belgium) from 31st March to 1st July 2007. Is it likely to be the real "The Thinker" sculpture or a copy? Pgr94 15:05, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
