More quotes by 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
I know very well that one must fight, for one is often in contradiction to the spirit of the age.
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
Recently I have taken to isolating limbs, the torso. Why am I blamed for it? Why is the head allowed and not portions of the body? Every part of the human figure is expressive.
Auguste Rodin
Image
An artist worthy of the name should express all the truth of nature, not only the exterior truth, but also, and above all, the inner truth.
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
The more simple we are, the more complete we become.
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
He who is discouraged after a failure is not a real artist.
Auguste Rodin
Image
True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.
Auguste Rodin
Image
The delicate droop of the petals standing out in relief, is like the eyelid of a child.
Auguste Rodin
Image
I would have to talk for a year to repeat a single on of my works with words.
Auguste Rodin
Image
If the artist succeeds in producing the impression of a movement which takes several moments for accomplishment, his work is certainly much less conventional than the scientific image, where time is abruptly suspended.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Mystery is like a kind of atmosphere which bathes the greatest works of the masters.
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
Even with all the documents, you can never forge nature
Auguste Rodin
Image
The modes of expression of men of genius differ as much as their souls, and it is impossible to say that in some among them, drawing and color are better or worse than in others.
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
Mere exactitude, of which photography and moulage [life casting] are the lowest forms, does not inspire feelings.
