Description
Auguste Rodin (1840 - 1917)
A Frenchman whose modernist style redefined sculpture in the 19th century, Auguste Rodin moved it from Academic and Neo-Classical to Impressionism and Realism. In fact, he did work that was so life-like, he was accused of making casts from live bodies. He also dealt with erotic and political themes that spoke of contemporary issues eschewed as inapprpriate by fine art academics of his era.
Rodin was raised in a hard working, religious family in Mouffetard, an historic section of Paris. He was born in 1840, shortly after his parents, Marie Cheffer and Jean-Baptiste Rodin, had moved from the countryside to the city, where his father had a job as a clerk in the police department. Rodin had difficulty with school subjects, but from childhood was prolific at drawing. At age 14, his life became focused on his art talent and began a training regime. He enrolled in morning classes in the Petite Ecole, which was a government-sponsored art school; in the afternoons, he went to the Louvre to do drawings; and in the evening, he took a life-drawing class at the Gobelin tapestry works. By age 17, he was winning prizes in clay, and determined to be a sculptor. It is in very good condition. It is nicely framed in the original frame which measures 18" x 24" in height. The painting is hand signed on the lower right and also additional photos are available upon request. It has been recently appraised and all documentation will be forwarded to the buyer.
