British sculptor Barry Flanagan doesn't always start out with an idea of what he's going to make. Sometimes he discovers the subject while he's working. When he was sculpting with clay in the 1980s, he says the image of a hare revealed itself to him in the clay. He must have liked that tall, thin, funny rabbit a lot because he made many bronze sculptures of him. He made sculptures of the rabbit leaping, dancing, balancing, and even boxing. He also did this sculpture of the thinking hare, which is a take-off on a famous sculpture by the French artist Auguste Rodin, called The Thinker.
