Rodin's Thinker, and his thoughts

This famous sculpture, by Auguste Rodin, is titled "The Thinker."

Artsology asked our viewers to come up with some of their own captions for what The Thinker might be thinking (if you haven't done so yet, you can submit your own captions here).

Listed below are some of our favorite suggestions ...


"He's thinking about how to pull off a stunt involving 6 fat guys, 5 tigers, a lawn mower, and an anteater." - Cole (no age given)

"What is the opposite of cargo shorts? Is it cargo longs, or passenger shorts?" - Tory, age 16

"He's thinking of all the things people might think he'll be thinking." - Duzeus, age 17

"Beans. He is thinking about beans." - Matthew, age 14

"Now if I put an EMPTY bucket under that leaking roof..." - Paige, age 35

"He actually has a collapsed jaw and is waiting for an ambulance." - Matthew, age 15

"Two major forces: compromise and creativity." - Felix, age 18

"Rodin's Thinker is thinking of ways to make a pizza taste like macaroni. He often wonders if he took the sauce off, then what would the pizza taste like? This guy loves to think!!!" - Shana, age 24

"The Thinker thinks about how much he hates French food, and Japanesse tourists that don't stop taking photos." - Guille, age 15

"Where do all the missing socks go?" - Remi, age 15

"Not going anywhere for a while? Grab a snickers." - Ben, age 15

"It is the obvious for great minds to behold the truth as the root of their thought, it is this order of which I pursue, but is this my reality or my mind playing with me? I THINK I'm going crazy." - Willy, age 15

"Evolution." - Zach, age 20

"Shouldn't have gone with the clam chowder..." - Will, age 15

"Who would have thought a tree stump could be so comfortable?" - Susan, age 9

"If I take a shower for 3 hours, do you think it will get this green paint off?" - Patrick, age 13

"I'll never let my kids play with super glue again!" - Michelle, age 12

"Who thinks without their clothes on?" - Chelsea, age 14

"I wish I could get this popsicle out of my mouth!" - Willie, age 36



Rodin himself once said:

"What makes my Thinker think is that he thinks not only with the brain, with his knitted brow, his destended nostrils, and compressed lips, but with every muscle of his arms, back, and legs, with his clenched fist and gripping toes."
