Wouldn't it be fun to have a Rodin
masterpiece right in your own home!! What a conversation piece that would
be!
Throughout
Auguste Rodin's career, the couple was a constant source of inspiration,
enabling him to express all nuances of tenderness, passion and sensuality.
Along with The kiss, Fugit Amour, "idol" is one of the most famous groups
inspired by this theme. Rodin chose to portray in this group the domination of
women over man who kneels before her in an attitude of adoration, and seems to
pay an almost religious homage to an indifferent divinity.
It
should be noted that the first title for this work was The Host, clearly
indicating this notion of devotion. The composition of the group accentuates
it psychological aspect. The deliberate vertical line formed by the woman's
arms and head contrasts with the diagonal of the man's body and increases the
impression of his dependence and respect.
