BOURDELLE'S DYING CENTAUR

Turning toward mythology
 Bust of Emile Antoine Bourdelle's Centaure mourant sculpted in 1914.
 The bust is a study for the monumental piece at the impressive Musée Bourdelle, Paris.
Bourdelle, a major sculptor of the 20th century, depicted the tension between the intense 
emotion to be released from pain while at the same time the desire to cling to life.
