    The Portola Art Gallery presents Rodin Redux- Realization and Revelation, photographs by Alan M. McGee of Portola Valley CA. The ten year project that began with a series of photographic studies of the Rodin collection at Stanford University has culminated into a full blown body of work that evolved into two distinct paths, one of Realization and the other of Revelation for the artist. Meet the artist Saturday, June 13, from 1-4pm. The exhibit runs through June.

    McGee explains that the path of Realization is one of presenting to the viewer through selection of point of view and lighting to reveal the emotional thrust that he thinks Rodin intended. McGee’s aim was to remove extrinsic barriers to viewing of the sculpture such as unfavorable lighting, confusing backgrounds and, as in the case of the Gates of Hell, inaccessibility to the smaller details.

    The path of Revelation uses the sculpture as a point of departure. McGee says, “I discovered that it was possible to isolate details and, in some cases, photographically manipulate them, in ways that produced an image that had only a tenuous relationship to the underlying sculpture. The images were then free to become malleable in my imagination and thus offer the viewer an experience not necessarily intended by Rodin.”
