Questions below refer to the following passage:    

(1)One of the pioneer sculptors of the nineteenth century was Honore Daumier (1810-1879). (2)He is well-known particularly for caricature heads that were created between 1830 and 1832. (3)His later works anticipate the work of Rodin, what with their highly cut-out surfaces offset by studied, flowing poses.    
(4)Although Daumier was one of the first modern sculptors, his work did not serve as an influence to later artists. (5)This is because nearly all of the other artists of the time hardly ever got to see any of it. (6)This is also true of the sculpture of Degas, who was known as a painter rather than a sculptor, and whose sculpture also was not widely exhibited at the time. (7)And yet, Degas was clearly the greatest sculptor of the era. (8)His bronze casts of dancers and horses retain the layered feeling of the wax models that were their first versions. (9)His more complex scenes seem like crosses between sculpture and painting. (10)When looked at more closely, they display a feeling of mass that the painted canvas cannot by itself convey. (11)It is the interplay between the separate masses in these scenes that involves the viewer and gives them their sense of intrigue.
