Text Quotes
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
There are unknown forces in nature; when we give ourselves wholly to her, without reserve, she lends them to us; she shows us these forms, which our watching eyes do not see, which our intelligence does not understand or suspect (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
People say I think too much about women, yet, after all what is there more important to think about? (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
The only principle in art is to copy what you see. Dealers in aesthetics to the contrary, every other method is fatal (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
There should be no argument in regard to morality in art. There is no morality in nature (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
The body always expresses the spirit whose envelope it is. And for him who can see, the nude offers the richest meaning (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
Man’s naked form belongs to no particular moment in history; it is eternal, and can be looked upon with joy by the people of all ages (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
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 Quotes)
To any artist, worthy of the name, all in nature is beautiful, because his eyes, fearlessly accepting all exterior truth, read there, as in an open book, all the inner truth (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
I know very well that one must fight, for one is often in contradiction to the spirit of the age (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Be a man before being an artist! (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it too has a soul (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
The human body is first and foremost a mirror to the soul and its greatest beauty comes from that (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
I am like a moon that shines on an immense, unknown sea where ships never pass (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
The artist enriches the soul of humanity. The artist delights people with a thousand different shades of feeling (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
If the artist only reproduces superficial features as photography does, if he copies the lineaments of a face exactly, without reference to character, he deserves no admiration. The resemblance which he ought to obtain is that of the soul (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Inside you there’s an artist you don’t know about. He’s not interested in how things look different in moonlight (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The delicate droop of the petals standing out in relief, is like the eyelid of a child (Auguste Rodin Quotes)
