Adam is an 1880-1881 statue of Adam by Auguste Rodin, first exhibited at the Paris Salon that year entitled The Creation of Man.
Development
[edit]That year Rodin was also commissioned by France's Ministry of Fine Arts to produce two colossal figures of Adam and Eve, which he suggested using to flank his The Gates of Hell project, then ongoing. For the figure of Adam he reused The Creation of Man, whilst Eve was created separately.[1]
Casts
[edit]The work was first cast in 1910 and bronze casts of it are now in the Art Institute of Chicago,[2] the Musee Rodin and the Metropolitan Museum of Art among others.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
