A sculptor's sculptor

"For much of his life in Mao’s China where art was strictly controlled, Keping had no idea that sculptures even existed as an art form, only paintings. His discovery of Rodin’s sculptures with their sensual forms, in particular of the female body, was life-changing." - Barbara Pasquet James
