Quote

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.

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
Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.
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
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
In art, immorality cannot exist. Art is always sacred.
Auguste Rodin
Image
If we now seek the spiritual significance of the technique of Michelangelo we shall find that his sculpture expressed restless energy.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it too has a soul.
Auguste Rodin
Image
The artist has only to trust his eyes.
Auguste Rodin
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Be a man before being an artist!
Auguste Rodin
Image
True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure.
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
He who is discouraged after a failure is not a real artist.
Auguste Rodin
Image
There should be no argument in regard to morality in art. There is no morality 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
The artist enriches the soul of humanity. The artist delights people with a thousand different shades of feeling.
Auguste Rodin
Image
I would have to talk for a year to repeat a single on of my works with words.
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.
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
