IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

This a model of the presentation of Brancusi's "Sleeping Muse" in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.  Brancusi's theme seems to eco the
topic though in not in a direct way.  The muse theme is an antique reference,
handled in a modern, idealized, abstract style, but of course these are not
necessarily modern traits.

Muse was modeled and UVmapped in Wings 3D.
Mesh was converted with Poseray.
Pigment and normal are bitmapped.
Finish is procedural.

Environment is CSG.
Radiosity used.
