| | Auguste Rodin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Auguste Rodin (November 12, 1840 – November 17, 1917) was a French sculptor. | | | Rodin fell in love with his talented pupil, and Claudel recognized her chance to be tutored by the greatest sculptor talent of his time, who was just breaking through to fame. | | | Born François-Auguste-René Rodin, to a working class family in Paris, he is often given a pivotal role in the history of modern sculpture, as both excelling at and rebelling from the Beaux-arts tradition. |

| | Auguste Rodin |
| | Rodin was not only a sculptor of public monuments but a tireless artist who produced numerous small and intimate sculptures. | | | Rodin's third influential event in 1864 was the creation and submission of his "Man with a Broken Nose" sculpture to the Paris Salon. | | | Rodin was a highly original sculptural genius but he openly acknowledged his indebtedness to the artists who had preceded him; the masters of ancient Greece and The Renaissance; Phidias, Donatello, Michelangelo. |

| | Rodin, Auguste on Encyclopedia.com |
| | Rodin considered his work completed when it expressed his idea, and as a result his sculpture is varied in technique; some is polished, some is gouged and scraped, and some seems scarcely to have emerged from the rough stone. | | | Rodin's work is generally considered the most important contribution to sculpture of his century, although some recent critical opinion has found his allegorical works pretentious. | | | GABRIEL BOUYS Agence France Presse 03-20-2001 Statues by French sculptor Auguste Rodin are displayed 20 March 2001 in the gardens of the Medicis Villa in Rome before the 05 April 2001 opening of the exhibition entitled "Rodin and the Lesson from Italy," showing 180 works, including 80 sculptures. |

| | Rodin's monolithic depiction of Balzac signified a departure from the allegorical sculpture of the nineteenth century, and marked a culmination of his long involvement with monumental public sculpture. | | | Rodin soon realized, however, that these attempts to recreate the outward appearance of the writer would never succeed in conveying his intensity and the magnitude of his literary contributions. | | | Rodin was deeply wounded by the public outcry but also scornful of the petty nature of much of the criticism. |

| | About Auguste Rodin |
| | Rodin returned to commerical sculpting, and created his next major sculpture, titled "John The Baptist." He intentionally made the sculpture on a larger than normal scale to prevent anyone from accusing him again of casting a live model. | | | In 1875, still determined to gain acceptance into the Paris Salon, Rodin created a sculpture of a Belgian soldier, titled "The Vanquished." After being accused of "faking" the sculpture by taking a cast of a live model (which he did not do), he travelled back to Paris and submitted the sculture to The Salon. | | | Although it was never finished, one of the characters on his door became the beginning of what was to be "The Thinker," which is perhaps the most famous french sculpture of all time. |

| | Rodin is the Wagner of modern sculpture; he is one of those rare artists whose work speaks to the deep longings in most people, yet one whose work repays repeated visits and study. | | | Rodin is also one of those artists who form a bridge between the Romanticism of the 19th century and the Modernism of the 20th, allowing us to see how we arrived at where we are now. | | | Rodin's vision of man in his misery and greatness found its center when he received a commission from the French Government to create a portal for the entrance to the Museum of Decorative Art. |

| | By showing these processes in the partial figures and modular recurrences of his exhibited work, he undercut his own virtuosity as a conjurer of stories in flesh and bone, and introduced an evident self-consciousness about the artificiality of art's means. | | | By ignoring the immediate arena in which the innovations occurred, we wind up with an impoverished view of what his achievement was, both as a late nineteenth-century artist and as a key innovator in modern art. | | | Good overview of Rodin's work, including his lesser-known drawings. |

| | Several studies for the work are nudes, but Rodin finally clothed the figure in a robe inspired by the dressing gown that Balzac often wore when writing. | | | Critics likened it to a sack of coal, a snowman, a seal, and the literary society that had commissioned the work dismissed it as a "crude sketch." Rodin retired the plaster model to his home in the Paris suburbs. | | | Monument to Balzac is a visual metaphor for the author's energy and genius, yet when the plaster original was exhibited in Paris in 1898, it was widely attacked. |
