Questions About Modern Japanese Sculpture
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

    Rodin was called the Father of Modern Sculpture because he turned away from the traditional aim of sculptors and inspired future artists with his new approach. Instead of seeking to capture just how subjects looked, Auguste Rodin attempted to convey their emotions and inner lives through his pieces. You can see evidence of this in the simple yet dramatic quality of his most famous works like The Thinker, The Gates of Hell and The Kiss. Find a variety of Auguste Rodin art on 1stDibs.
