Here is a fresh look at Auguste Rodin, one of the greatest
sculptors of all time, thanks not only to his ability to capture
the emotional and psychological complexity of human beings, but
also his having profoundly renewed the very language of sculpture.
Rodin's unprecedented passion for the act of creation, rather than
completion, changed the way the world thinks about sculpture. The
ongoing interplay of accidents and chance in his work, his figures
fragmented only to be reconstituted through his ingenious 'cobbling
together', enabled him to interpolate his work in an endless flow
of creation. The topic of metamorphosis is directly related to his
work, without model or witness, in the privacy of his studio.
Fragile plasters as well as bronzes, marble figures, drawings,
watercolours, and photographs all attest to this creative ferment.
But 'studio' must also be understood as the small art community
that worked for and around the Master. It consisted of
practitioners of specific trades to whom we owe the transformation
of one material to another, one dimension to another, under his
attentive guidance. This catalogue sheds light on the various
processes of reprise and transformation, and takes stock of the
sculptor's prodigious creativity.
