The Sculptor and His Marble 
Rodin, who ranks high among the sculptors of France, made not long ago a bust 
of George Bernard Shaw, the famous English writer. Like all great masters 
of the chisel, Rodin chose marble as his working material. 
fflShaw, in commenting on the work in the London Nation, says, “Rodin shows 
a strong feeling for the beauty of marble. With him it has quite another sort of 
life; it glows; and light falls over it. It does not look solid; it looks luminous; and 
the curious glowing and flowing keeps people’s fingers off it; for you feel as though 
you could not catch hold of it.” 
fJWhat is true of Rodin’s marble is true of all good marble. You can get a 
glimpse of that same light in the Schumann Tablet, a White Rutland marble 
memorial, the order for which came from E. A. Carroll Co., Philadelphia
