Quote

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.

More quotes by Auguste Rodin

Image
He who is discouraged after a failure is not a real artist.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Where did I learn to understand sculpture? In the woods by looking at the trees, along roads by observing the formation of clouds, in the studio by studying the model, everywhere except in the schools.
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
I invent nothing, I rediscover.
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
I know very well that one must fight, for one is often in contradiction to the spirit of the age.
Auguste Rodin
Image
The more simple we are, the more complete we become.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it too has a soul.
Auguste Rodin
Image
I would have to talk for a year to repeat a single on of my works with words.
Auguste Rodin
Image
A mediocre man copying nature will never produce a work of art, because he really looks without seeing, and though he may have noted each detail minutely, the result will be flat and without character... the artist on the contrary, sees that is to say, his eye, grafted on his heart, reads deeply into the bosom of nature.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Even with all the documents, you can never forge nature
Auguste Rodin
Image
To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature
Auguste Rodin
Image
The delicate droop of the petals standing out in relief, is like the eyelid of a child.
Auguste Rodin
Image
If we now seek the spiritual significance of the technique of Michelangelo we shall find that his sculpture expressed restless energy.
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
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
How painful it is to find that my figure can be of no help to my future... how painful to see it rejected on account of a slanderous suspicion!
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 am like a moon that shines on an immense, unknown sea where ships never pass
Auguste Rodin
Image
The work of art is already within the block of marble. I just chop off whatever isn't needed.
Auguste Rodin
