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.

More quotes by Auguste Rodin
There should be no argument in regard to morality in art. There is no morality in nature.
Auguste Rodin
My drawings are the result of my sculpture.
Auguste Rodin
Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it too has a soul.
Auguste Rodin
The artist has only to trust his eyes.
Auguste Rodin
Mystery is like a kind of atmosphere which bathes the greatest works of the masters.
Auguste Rodin
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
The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Be a man before being an artist!
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
The work of art is already within the block of marble. I just chop off whatever isn't needed.
Auguste Rodin
He who is discouraged after a failure is not a real artist.
Auguste Rodin
I invent nothing, I rediscover.
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
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.
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
The artist enriches the soul of humanity. The artist delights people with a thousand different shades of feeling.
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
One must work, nothing but work, and one must have patience.
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
In art, immorality cannot exist. Art is always sacred.
Auguste Rodin
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.
