Description:
Master sculptor Auguste Rodin's illuminating writings on cathedrals in France are especially relevant and significant following the recent fire at Notre Dame.



In this volume, the writer and Rodin scholar Rachel Corbett selects excerpts from the famous sculptor's book Cathedrals of France, first published in 1914, just before the outbreak of World War I. Cathedrals were central to the way Rodin thought about his art: he saw them as visual metaphors for the human figure, among the finest examples of craftsmanship known to modern man, and as a model for how to live and work-slowly, brick by brick.



Here, Corbett takes the fire at Notre Dame and the concerns over its restoration as an entry point in an exploration of Rodin's cathedrals. Rodin adamantly opposed restoration, as he felt it often did more damage than the original injury. (Many of the cathedrals that Rodin looks at in his texts were, in fact, bombed during the war.) But while he rails against various restoration efforts as evidence that "we are letting our cathedrals die," the book, with its tenderly rendered sketches and written portraits, is itself an attempt to preserve these cathedrals. The selection of texts in this volume is a reminder-as is the tragedy of Notre Dame-of why we ought to appreciate these feats of architecture, whether or not they are still standing today.

Fit. With Modification.
I lost one of my housings on the freeway and had a hard time finding the style I had. Different than the standard, but not the Euro ones. Hard to find, at least for me. These were a bit closer to what mine looked like. I had to remove the rubber gasket around the housing to get it to fit (2003 330XI) but it worked like a charm.

Not a proper fit
Received as promised by the seller. My cons on this item: 1) the socket holes does not make a tight fit with the light bulb sockets I have. Both issues for left and right. I had to double the o-ring on my light sockets to make it tight fit. 2) The rubbers around the casing was not properly glued in. The rubber sticks out by a few centimeters. Pics attached.

Looks great on my 2005 BMW 325i
Very pleased with the results after I assembled on my car…except the fit of bulb socket to assembly was a little loose on both of them….but I think it will be fine.
