Marie and I at the Musee D'Orsay

Marie is a scultpure that Degas sculpted. Marie was a 14-year-old dancer when Degas used her as a model for his sculpture. When Marie was exhibited for the first time the museum staff laughed at her and didn't like her. This is a bronze sculpture, but Degas also made wax models. We saw Marie in Washington D.C. and in Toronto, Canada in 2003. Marie is my favourite of Degas's sculptures. The other sculptures I like are the Thinker and The Gates of Hell, by Rodin and the Dying Slave by Michaelangelo. I also like Venus de Milo and The Winged Victory of Samothrace.
