...reproduce in stone every rhythm of the human body became for him almost a monomania. He would have his model throw herself down over and over in different attitudes, any attitudes, and would draw her with fierce, scrawling strokes. How his Man with the Broken Nose was refused by the Salon jury is history; in 1877 he was accused of faking his Age of Bronze-now in the Luxembourg -by taking a mold from the living model.
