This bonded marble bust of French dramatist and artist Moliere. Like the sculptor Houdon, Moliere, one of France's greatest dramatist, was a keen observer of human character.He sought out the weaknesses, the follies, the vanities and pretensions, the ludicrous traits in men and women and put his characters on the stage in that mock the fashions and foibles of his time.The plays endure because of the universality of those traits. French Dramatist MoliereThis bonded marble bust of French dramatist Jean Baptiste Moliere was sculptured from a portrait painting of moliere by Houdon about a hundred years after moliere's death. It is said that Houdon created one of his most brilliant characterizations.There is an alertness in the turning of the head and a penetration in the observing eyes. Certainly Houdon from knowing himself had understanding of eyes that observed the characteristics of human nature. With a sense of theatricality he has depicted Morliere as a romantic actor and dramatist.Tartuffe has been a current example of moliere's works. It is a one-man introduction to the works of Moliere written and performed by Timothy Mooney. Moliere's tartuffe combined with Timothy Mooney's refreshing, clever rhyming couplets with his manic energy and impeccable sense of comic timing, and the results are two hours of delightful theater.
