(184 ~ 1917)
Introduction
A famous French sculptor. Born in a poor Christian family on November 12, 184. His father is a police messenger and his mother is a poor civilian woman. Rodin loved art since he was a child, but his other lessons were terrible. With the support of his sister Mary, his disappointed father had to agree to send him to the Paris School of Arts and Crafts. His sister Mary paid for his room and board with the money she earned, so Rodin deeply loved his sister from an early age. At the age of 14, he studied painting with Lecongde Boisbaudran, then studied sculpture with Baye, and worked as an assistant to Behles, and went to Brussels to create decorative sculptures for five years. He visited Italy in 1875 and was deeply inspired by Michelangelo's works, thus establishing a realistic creative technique. His works such as The Bronze Age, The Thinker, Hugo, burghers of calais and Balzac all have new creations, which have been criticized by the French academic school. The design of Hell's Gate, which contains 186 sculptures, was not realized as planned because of the official obstruction at that time, and only some works such as The Thinker, The Kiss and Eve were completed. He is good at creating vivid and powerful artistic images with rich and varied painting techniques. He has made many sketches in his life, which is unique in style, and the Theory of Art has been handed down from generation to generation. Rodin's position in the history of European sculpture is just like that of the poet Dante in Europe. Rodin and his two students, Mayol and Boodell, are known as the "three pillars" of European sculpture.
For modern people, he is the last sculptor in the old period (classicism period) and the first sculptor in the new period (modernism period). He left one foot in the classical courtyard, but the other foot has crossed the threshold of modernism. It can be said that Rodin opened the door to modern sculpture in the new era with his mature and powerful hand exercised during the classicism period and his creative spirit that was not bound by tradition. When young artists rushed in and ran forward, he was in his twilight years and could not walk. His creation has a great influence on the development of modern European sculpture.
auguste rodin Rodin's life is a life of being attacked and ridiculed, but also understood and supported. But he always faced all this correctly with a great personality. Rodin climbed all his life and finally reached another peak after Michelangelo. Rodin firmly believes that "art is emotion". All his works have proved this concept and profoundly revealed the rich feelings of human beings. Rodin prefers tragic themes, and is good at discovering contribution and beauty from the broken, which makes his art have profound and profound character. He initiated a brand-new era and created a brand-new artistic technique. The ideological and spiritual charm embodied in his works will always bring people deep beauty and inspire people to keep thinking.
Life
The Art and Craft School of Rodin was founded in 1765 by Basie Liere, a painter favored by Madame Pompadou, where students studied the art of binding and drawing. Here he met Horace Lecock, the first teacher whom he admired all his life. Lecock is an ordinary art teacher, but he encouraged Rodin to be faithful to the real artistic feeling from the beginning, instead of following the academic dogma. Perhaps it was this teaching that influenced Rodin's life. During this period, he often went to the Louvre to copy the famous paintings of the masters. Unable to afford oil paints, Rodin transferred to a sculpture class and fell in love with sculpture from then on. Le Cork introduced him to the famous French animal sculptor Barye 1796～1875) to study there, which gave him a good basic training. After three years of hard and diligent study, Rodin is full of ambition and ready to enter the Paris Academy of Fine Arts. Le Cork introduced Rodin to the famous sculptor Hippolyte Maindron 181～1884) at that time, and asked him to sign Rodin's application for admission as a referee, but it was useless, and Rodin lost the election. Still lost the election the next year. In the third year, an old host simply wrote next to Rodin's name: "I have no talent in this life, and it is a waste to continue to apply." In this way, the future European sculptor was rejected by the Paris Academy of Fine Arts forever. This is a heavy blow to young Rodin who is eager to become a sculptor.
A bigger blow followed. Rodin's beloved sister Mary entered the monastery because of lovelorn love. Two years later, her weak spirit and body could not bear the frustrated and cold life, and she died of illness. Rodin's spirit completely collapsed under this double blow, and he resolutely embarked on his sister's road and became a monk. However, Rodin's strong body supplied him with endless desires, among which the desire for creation ignited an uncontrollable flame in an artist's heart, which made Rodin, who was equally devout to God and art, fall into inner contradictions and pains. Emma, the kind and wise abbot, saw Rodin's thoughts from his repressed expression. He created conditions for Rodin to have the opportunity to paint and carve. When he saw that Rodin was really talented, he persuaded Rodin to return to secularism and continue his sculpture career, "serving God with art". This encourages Rodin. Rodin made a statue for Dean Emma in the monastery with a soothing and grateful heart. This statue shows that Rodin, 23, has the insight, skill and skill to be a sculptor.
Rodin returned to Lecock, and with his help and support, he began his struggle career of self-study while working. Unable to afford a model, he asked Bibi, a beggar with a flat nose, to be his model. The ugliness of the beggar made Rodin see the sadness and desolation in his worn face, and at the same time he thought of Michelangelo, the lonely sculptor who worked hard all his life. Thus, the beauty and ugliness of life and art have different meanings in Rodin's eyes. When he created, he paid attention to the expression of light on the surface of his works, and incorporated the ideological connotation he wanted to show into his works, making sculpture a powerful language, and people's ideological feelings far exceeded their visual feelings. This artistic idea is exactly what the master Michelangelo pursued in his later years, and it was first shown in Rodin's The Man with the Broken Nose after more than 3 years, and it has been the source of their soul and charm throughout his life.
Rodin is not only a master sculptor, but also a great teacher. His students or assistants, even if they only had contacts, were deeply influenced by Rodin in art. However, Rodin, as a teacher, never fetters his students from an artistic point of view, so all his students can mature and stand out for their own unique style. They studied Rodin's creative spirit, so many of them were outstanding, and some of them were as famous as teachers in the future.
Rodin's life is a life of being attacked and ridiculed, as well as being understood and supported. But he always faced all this correctly with a great personality. Rodin climbed all his life and finally reached another peak after Michelangelo. Rodin firmly believes that "art is emotion". All his works have proved this concept and profoundly revealed the rich feelings of human beings. In this regard, Rodin is the most outstanding master of romantic sculpture. However, his greatness lies in his profound thoughts: he does not have those disadvantages that are easy to see in romanticism, such as superficial enthusiasm, empty exaggeration and false connotation. He prefers tragic themes and is good at discovering strength and beauty from the broken. This makes his art have a profound character, which is both touching and inspiring, and enables us to wander in the waves of the soul, the meaning of life, the mystery of the universe and the magic of creation. From this point of view, Rodin surpassed romanticism, sects, times and regions, and became a brilliant star in the historical galaxy. He sympathized with the working people at the bottom, loved his motherland, and devoted his life to the persistent pursuit of art and the hard thinking of all kinds of pains in life. He initiated a brand-new era and created a brand-new artistic technique. The ideological and spiritual charm embodied in his works will always bring people deep beauty and inspire people to keep thinking. Rodin's Works
On Rodin's Art
In the artist's eyes, everything is beautiful, because his keen eye focuses on the core of all living things; If we can find out its character, we can penetrate into the shape and touch its inner "truth". This "truth" is also "beauty".
-Rodin
The fountain of life is surging from the heart; Flower of life is open from the inside out. Similarly, in beautiful sculpture, there is often a strong inner tremor lurking. This is the secret of ancient art. -Rodin
The virtue of an artist is only wisdom, concentration, sincerity and will. -Rodin
The source of art lies in the inner truth, and your shape and color should convey emotions. -Rodin
The most important thing is to feel, love and hate, hope, chant, and live. To be an artist, you must start with people. -Rodin
Evil is dry. -Rodin
Rodin's Theory of Art is a scientific summary of the history of European sculpture and a concise summary of personal experience, which runs through Rodin's reverence for predecessors, his outstanding views on famous works and his joy in creation, his deep thinking and introspection. At that time, Mr. Fu Lei taught in Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts and translated this book as an "aesthetic lecture" for students, in order to have a definite understanding and discussion on the form and spirit of famous works of fine arts before pure aesthetics was involved.
Re-editing the color book closely follows the master's conversation, and integrates more than 2 famous works of art with the conversation, which is more conducive to the appreciation and understanding of famous works.
This is only a brief introduction to the book. Awen suggests you buy one, because you can read it slowly at the bedside and smell the book. There are many beautiful pictures in it, and the paper quality of the pages is also very good. In addition, in order not to damage the original book, Awen is reluctant to scan it, because it is easy to damage the book when scanning the picture ...

Chronology
auguste rodin held an exhibition of his works in Paris in p>19, which established his reputation as a sculptor. His main contribution is to restore the understanding of human beings and the expression of spiritual world in western sculpture, and he is considered as the greatest portrait sculptor in the history of sculpture.
In p>1864, Rodin studied sculpture with Louis Baye, a famous animal sculptor. Thanks to his hard work, he made rapid progress. Later, he studied painting in the Louvre, which is known as the "Small Academy of Fine Arts". The studio owner was Albert Ernest-Garrier-Behles, a famous master of decorative sculpture in the Second Empire. After a period of study, Rodin has the conditions to become an excellent sculptor. Before the age of 35, Rodin's personal style had not been determined. In 1875, Rodin visited Italy and praised the great Michelangelo, which had a great influence on his future creation.
In p>1878, Rodin exhibited The Bronze Age, which caused a lot of discussion. Many people refused to admit that it was a work of art because it was so lifelike that they said it was based on real people. This shocked Rodin a lot, which made him start to think about the performance of his works. He felt that extreme approximation meant nothing new and was not conducive to expressing deep thoughts and feelings. Therefore, Rodin's later works are vivid and full of inner spiritual breath. His masterpiece "The Gate of Hell" has 186 forms, which lasted for 37 years and was not completed until his death. Among them, "Thinker" and "Kiss" were enlarged and became world-famous masterpieces independently.
Rodin's other major works are: The Man with a Broken Nose (1864), The Bronze Age (1876), The Preaching of St. John (1878), The Gate of Hell (188 -1917), Adam (188) and Eve.
On November 17th, 1917, Rodin, a French sculptor who epitomized the traditional sculpture art in Europe for more than two thousand years and created the new sculpture art in the 2th century, passed away.
