About this Item
Notes
Of the eight Johannesburg Public Library figures, that of Philosophy differs from the others in that it bears no attribute but is based on Rodin's Thinker. According to Ute Ben Yosef (p 47) "Kottler felt pleased with this piece and made a reduced bronze copy with a simulated architectural background".
