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 83 quotes

The work of art is already within the block of marble. I just chop off whatever isn't needed.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms, Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.

I believe that photography can create great works of art, but hitherto it has been extraordinarily bourgeois and babbling. (1908)

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

Man enjoys living on the edge...

Man enjoys living on the edge of his dreams and neglects the real things of the world which are so beautiful. The ignorant and indifferent destroy beautiful things merely by looking at the marble. Things that remake the soul of him who understands them.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

The artist enriches the soul of humanity. The artist delights people with a thousand different shades of feeling.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

An artist worthy of the name ...

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 83 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 83 quotes

There should be no argument in regard to morality in art. There is no morality in nature.

Auguste Rodin 83 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.

It is the artist who is truthful and it is photography which lies, for in reality time does not stop

The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

Inside you there's an artist ...

Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

To any artist, worthy of the ...

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 83 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 83 quotes

Sculpture is the art of the hole and the lump.

Auguste Rodin 83 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.

I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.

Auguste Rodin 83 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.

To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature.
