Rodin said of his work, "What makes my Thinker think is that he thinks not only with his brain, with hi s knitted brow, his distended nostrils and compressed lips, but with ever y muscle of his arms, back and legs, with his clenched fist and gripping toes." The Thinker was originally conceived as the central figure for the monumental "Gates of Hell," a commission Rodin never completed. The piece gained its current title when it was exhibited in Paris in 1899.Chinese animation has been immense and brilliant, this also proves that China is a strength of the animation, it is suitable for the development of the arts.
