The delicate droop of the petals standing out in relief, is like the eyelid of a child.
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
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
Image
My drawings are the result of my sculpture.
Auguste Rodin

Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it too has a soul.
Auguste Rodin

The human body is first and foremost a mirror to the soul and its greatest beauty comes from that.
Auguste Rodin

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

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
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
Mere exactitude, of which photography and moulage [life casting] are the lowest forms, does not inspire feelings.

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
In art, immorality cannot exist. Art is always sacred.
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 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
I know very well that one must fight, for one is often in contradiction to the spirit of the age.
Auguste Rodin
Image
I would have to talk for a year to repeat a single on of my works with words.
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 only principle in art is to copy what you see. Dealers in aesthetics to the contrary, every other method is fatal.
