As an artist who adored women
because he adored nature, Rodin turned to women as his main subject of
observation. He never started from predetermined subjects but chose, depending
on the young women who posed for him, the postures likely to give the body the
most expression.
"I
do not create," he said. "I see and it is because I see that I am capable of
making." This is why he did not burden himself with heads or feet or hands. And
although during the first part of his career, he was obliged to earn his
living by producing sensual figures, which often echoed 18th century art to
please his art patrons. After 1895 Rodin gradually eliminated all that he
considered to be trivial or useless.
The
study of sculpture taught him that the more a form is condensed the more it
acquires power. Life is in the contours, the soul of the sculpture is in
the piece. This is a reproduction of a bronze sculpture made in 1885,
based on the kneeling Faun in the Tympanum from The Gates Of Hell, a
decorative door for the future Museum of Decorative Arts (Musee des Beaux
Arts), to be decorated with sculptures inspired by The Divine Comedy of Dante.
