More quotes by Auguste Rodin

Image
Even with all the documents, you can never forge nature
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
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
The artist has only to trust his eyes.
Auguste Rodin
Image
In art, immorality cannot exist. Art is always sacred.
Auguste Rodin
Image
True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure.
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
To the artist there is never anything ugly in 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
There should be no argument in regard to morality in art. There is no morality in nature.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Mere exactitude, of which photography and moulage [life casting] are the lowest forms, does not inspire feelings.
Auguste Rodin
Image
My drawings are the result of my sculpture.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it too has a soul.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Mystery is like a kind of atmosphere which bathes the greatest works of the masters.
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
I would have to talk for a year to repeat a single on of my works with words.
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
One must work, nothing but work, and one must have patience.
Auguste Rodin
Image
The work of art is already within the block of marble. I just chop off whatever isn't needed.
Auguste Rodin
Image
I invent nothing, I rediscover.
Auguste Rodin
