More quotes by Auguste Rodin
If we now seek the spiritual significance of the technique of Michelangelo we shall find that his sculpture expressed restless energy.
Auguste Rodin
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
In art, immorality cannot exist. Art is always sacred.
Auguste Rodin
Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.
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
Mystery is like a kind of atmosphere which bathes the greatest works of the masters.
Auguste Rodin
The human body is first and foremost a mirror to the soul and its greatest beauty comes from that.
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
There is no need to create. Genius comes only to those who know how to use their eyes and their intelligence.
Auguste Rodin
One must work, nothing but work, and one must have patience.
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
Mere exactitude, of which photography and moulage [life casting] are the lowest forms, does not inspire feelings.
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.
Auguste Rodin
The artist has only to trust his eyes.
Auguste Rodin
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
To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature
Auguste Rodin
The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Be a man before being an artist!
Auguste Rodin
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.
Auguste Rodin
Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it too has a soul.
Auguste Rodin
