Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) was already an old man when the young
poet Rainer Maria Rilke went to interview him for the first time.
Rilke stayed on to work as Rodin's secretary. Intensely sensitive
to art, and in particular to the irreducible power of objects, and
yet able to express this awareness in prose of great lyricism and
clarity, Rilke was destined to be the critic who would most
naturally dramatise Rodin's work. In 1903 Rilke published this
essay, a sustained and profound meditation on the unique power of
Rodin's sculpture that has never been equalled. Written around a
chronology of Rodin's work, it is also a very approachable
introduction to some of the greatest sculpture of the nineteenth
century.
