“Monument to Balzac”

Rodin spent seven years preparing for “Monument to Balzac” on several preparatory studies (showing different versions of Balzac). The final version (in plaster) was exhibited in Paris in 1898 (and it was then rejected by the conservative critics as an unfinished sketch). Only years after Rodin’s death, his “Balzac” was cast in bronze (this is not an unusual practice; some works were even casts of early works that the artist never executed in bronze).
There is a subject about these posthumous casts: are they bronze reproductions or original works?

CIDOC CRM enables to express different views on the states of affairs, which we usually find in documentation. The ability to express different views in not an ambiguity. In this case, we present not unusual views: The first one describes a discontinuity in the physical process. The second view describes merely a complex physical process. The third view describes the materialized idea of the work. All these views refer to the same state of affairs and consequently are expected to be compatible with CRM and indeed can merge into one view.
