A giant of modern sculpture, of which The Thinker and The Kiss are icons, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) dared everything: assembly of pre-existing forms, use of "accident", partial figures, collages, very free drawing, work on photography...
Bourdelle, Giacometti, Zadkine, Brancusi, Picasso, Baselitz and so many others have drawn from this creative universe or have distinguished themselves from it. Generations of artists have rediscovered a modern, unusual, experimental Rodin. From his aesthetic sensitivity came a sculpture whose expressive naturalism retains an attachment to the human figure: fiery faces, exacerbated expressions, quivering epidermis, bodies where the flesh pulsates. Rodin remains the "inexhaustible master".
