Auguste Rodin by Rainer Maria Rilke
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 5.6MB
Overview: Sculptor Auguste Rodin once wrote that “one has only to look at a human face to find a soul, no feature deceives; hypocrisy is as transparent as sincerity. The inclining of the brow, the least furrowing of a look may reveal the secrets of the heart.” Rodin was fortunate to have as his secretary Rainer Maria Rilke, one of the most sensitive poets of our time. These essays discussing Rodin’s work and development as an artist are as revealing of Rilke as they are of his subject. Written in 1903 and 1907, these meditations mark the entry of the poet into the world of letters. The book sheds light on the profound psychic connection between the two great artists, both masters of giving life to the invisible within the visible, concerned with “the unnoticed, the small, the concealed . . . with the profound and surprising unrest of living things.” Over a dozen reproductions of Rodin’s little known water colors and drawings will accompany the essay.
