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
Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it too has a soul.
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
An artist worthy of the name should express all the truth of nature, not only the exterior truth, but also, and above all, the inner truth.
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
Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.
Auguste Rodin
One must work, nothing but work, and one must have patience.
Auguste Rodin
The artist enriches the soul of humanity. The artist delights people with a thousand different shades of feeling.
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.
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
True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure.
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
The delicate droop of the petals standing out in relief, is like the eyelid of a child.
Auguste Rodin
Mystery is like a kind of atmosphere which bathes the greatest works of the masters.
Auguste Rodin
There should be no argument in regard to morality in art. There is no morality in nature.
Auguste Rodin
To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature
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 main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Be a man before being an artist!
Auguste Rodin
The more simple we are, the more complete we become.
Auguste Rodin
Even with all the documents, you can never forge nature
Auguste Rodin
