Overview
Rodin wanted to anchor his practice of sculpture in the continuity of Greek art, revisiting and filtering Roman copies. Reformulating the archetypes of ancient times, and integrate its own figures by assembling a Greek vase, column, urn. His art is an echo, the plastic perfection and expressiveness of its forms, has the Greek ideal. Masterpieces of ancient times, which have arrived until our time more often in the form of fragments, mutilated sculptures are also a formal parallel in the way Rodin had to work: Flashing the superfluous has to give his works a raw power, essentially mutilating his statues, he used the assembly of the fragment, the recomposition of the unfinished. Rodin never went to Greece, but collected 2,500 works or replicas, a sort of Pantheon, its own museum. But it is probably a Greece dreamed, allowing breakthroughs of the invisible, the inaccessible, and the unspeakable.
