More quotes by Auguste Rodin
The work of art is already within the block of marble. I just chop off whatever isn't needed.
Auguste Rodin
True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure.
Auguste Rodin
The human body is first and foremost a mirror to the soul and its greatest beauty comes from that.
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
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
Mere exactitude, of which photography and moulage [life casting] are the lowest forms, does not inspire feelings.
Auguste Rodin
Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.
Auguste Rodin
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
I would have to talk for a year to repeat a single on of my works with words.
Auguste Rodin
There is no need to create. Genius comes only to those who know how to use their eyes and their intelligence.
Auguste Rodin
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
The artist has only to trust his eyes.
Auguste Rodin
My drawings are the result of my sculpture.
Auguste Rodin
There should be no argument in regard to morality in art. There is no morality in nature.
Auguste Rodin
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
He who is discouraged after a failure is not a real artist.
Auguste Rodin
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
I know very well that one must fight, for one is often in contradiction to the spirit of the age.
Auguste Rodin
Mystery is like a kind of atmosphere which bathes the greatest works of the masters.
Auguste Rodin
The artist enriches the soul of humanity. The artist delights people with a thousand different shades of feeling.
Auguste Rodin
