Nobody does good to men with impunity.

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

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 83 quotes

If the artist only reproduces ...

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.

I have unbounded admiration for the nude. I worship it like a god.

Auguste Rodin 83 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.

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

Mystery is like a kind of atmosphere which bathes the greatest works of the masters.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

In short, Beauty is everywhere...

In short, Beauty is everywhere. It is not that she is lacking to our eye, but our eyes which fail to perceive her. Beauty is character and expression. Well, there is nothing in nature which has more character than the human body. In its strength and its grace it evokes the most varied images. One moment it resembles a flower: the bending torso is the stalk; the breasts, the head, and the splendor of the hair answer to the blossoming of the corolla. The next moment it recalls the pliant creeper, or the proud and upright

He who is discouraged after a failure is not a real artist.

Genius only comes to those who know how to use their eyes and their intelligence.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

A mediocre man copying nature ...

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 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.

Love your calling with passion, it is the meaning of your life.

Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it too has a soul.

True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure.

Auguste Rodin 83 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 83 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 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.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

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.
