More quotes by Auguste Rodin
To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature
Auguste Rodin
The artist enriches the soul of humanity. The artist delights people with a thousand different shades of feeling.
Auguste Rodin
Mystery is like a kind of atmosphere which bathes the greatest works of the masters.
Auguste Rodin
I know very well that one must fight, for one is often in contradiction to the spirit of the age.
Auguste Rodin
Even with all the documents, you can never forge nature
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
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
There is no need to create. Genius comes only to those who know how to use their eyes and their intelligence.
Auguste Rodin
The only principle in art is to copy what you see. Dealers in aesthetics to the contrary, every other method is fatal.
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
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
Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it too has a soul.
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
There should be no argument in regard to morality in art. There is no morality in nature.
Auguste Rodin
The artist has only to trust his eyes.
Auguste Rodin
The more simple we are, the more complete we become.
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
I invent nothing, I rediscover.
Auguste Rodin
The human body is first and foremost a mirror to the soul and its greatest beauty comes from that.
Auguste Rodin
One must work, nothing but work, and one must have patience.
Auguste Rodin
