Quote

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.

To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature
Auguste Rodin

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.

Mere exactitude, of which photography and moulage [life casting] are the lowest forms, does not inspire feelings.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Mystery is like a kind of atmosphere which bathes the greatest works of the masters.
Auguste Rodin
Image
True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure.
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
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
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
The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Be a man before being an artist!
