More quotes by Auguste Rodin

Image
Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it too has a soul.
Auguste Rodin
Image
The artist enriches the soul of humanity. The artist delights people with a thousand different shades of feeling.
Auguste Rodin
Image
To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature
Auguste Rodin
Image
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.
Auguste Rodin
Image
The sculptor represents the transition from one pose to another he indicates how insensibly the first glides into the second. In his work we still see a part of what was and we discover a part of what is to be.
Auguste Rodin
Image
True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure.
Auguste Rodin
Image
There is no need to create. Genius comes only to those who know how to use their eyes and their intelligence.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Mere exactitude, of which photography and moulage [life casting] are the lowest forms, does not inspire feelings.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Mystery is like a kind of atmosphere which bathes the greatest works of the masters.
Auguste Rodin
Image
As paradoxical as it may seem a great sculptor is as much a colourist as the best painter, or rather the best engraver. He plays so skillfully with all the resources of relief, he blends so well the boldness of light with the modesty of shadow, that his sculptures please one, as much as the most charming etchings.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Where shall we begin? There is no beginning. Start where you arrive. Stop before what entices you. And work! You will enter little by little into the entirety. Method will be born in proportion to your interest.
Auguste Rodin
Image
There is nothing ugly in art except that which is without character, that is to say, that which offers no outer or inner truth.
Auguste Rodin
Image
The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms, Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.
Auguste Rodin
Image
I know very well that one must fight, for one is often in contradiction to the spirit of the age.
Auguste Rodin
Image
In front of the model I work with the same will to reproduce truth as if I were making a portrait. I do not correct nature, I incorporate myself into it it directs me. I can only work with a model. The sight of human forms nourishes and comforts me.
Auguste Rodin
Image
The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Be a man before being an artist!
Auguste Rodin
Image
I am like a moon that shines on an immense, unknown sea where ships never pass
Auguste Rodin
Image
One must work, nothing but work, and one must have patience.
Auguste Rodin
Image
The human body is first and foremost a mirror to the soul and its greatest beauty comes from that.
Auguste Rodin
Image
I grant you that the artist does not see Nature as she appears to the vulgar, because his emotion reveals to him the hidden truths beneath appearances.
Auguste Rodin
