More quotes by 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
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
Mystery is like a kind of atmosphere which bathes the greatest works of the masters.
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
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
I am like a moon that shines on an immense, unknown sea where ships never pass
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
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
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
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
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
I know very well that one must fight, for one is often in contradiction to the spirit of the age.
Auguste Rodin
My drawings are the result of my sculpture.
Auguste Rodin
One must work, nothing but work, and one must have patience.
Auguste Rodin
He who is discouraged after a failure is not a real artist.
Auguste Rodin
The delicate droop of the petals standing out in relief, is like the eyelid of a child.
Auguste Rodin
True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure.
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
The artist enriches the soul of humanity. The artist delights people with a thousand different shades of feeling.
Auguste Rodin
The work of art is already within the block of marble. I just chop off whatever isn't needed.
Auguste Rodin
