今年是罗丹逝世百年。旧金山艺术馆 Legion of Honor 为此正大规模盛展罗丹雕塑作品。 曾经在中国网站读过几页中文的《罗丹艺术论》，这样的书是会一读就爱的，可惜诸事繁忙。。。。 今再去那个网页寻，却空空如也。还好找到了英文版。 Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated. ---- Auguste Rodin The Art by Auguste Rodin archive.org/stream/artrodi00rodi#page/n11/mode/1up/search/art+by+auguste+rodinia800308.us.archive.org/27/items/artbyaugusterodi00rodi/artbyaugusterodi00rodi.pdfzt: François Auguste René Rodin (12 November 1840 – 17 November 1917), known as Auguste Rodin (/oʊˈɡuːst roʊˈdæ̃/; French: [oɡyst ʁɔdɛ̃]), was a French sculptor. Although Rodin is generally considered the progenitor of modern sculpture,[1] he did not set out to rebel against the past. He was schooled traditionally, took a craftsman-like approach to his work, and desired academic recognition,[2] although he was never accepted into Paris's foremost school of art. |

Rodin was strongly influenced by the work of Michelangelo. The direct experience of the Renaissance master's art, both in the course of his Italian travels in 1875- 76 and in the Musée du Louvre in Paris, seems to have unlocked for Rodin many of the secrets of Michelangelo's modeling. Here they are used to convey the inner anguish and riveted concentration of a powerful, but immobilized being. Rodin's debt to Michelangelo goes even further, for in the contorted, uncomfortable pose of Adam, it has been recognized that Rodin incorporated the actual gestures of the figures in two of Michelangelo's works: the right arm alludes to The Creation of Adam, the Sistine Chapel fresco in the Vatican; the left is borrowed from the dead Christ of the Pietà in the Cathedral of Florence. In the words of the Rodin scholar Albert Elsen "the figure is framed by the beginning and end of life, between (these), his body shows its tortured existence."  modeled 1880 or 1881, cast 1910. Overall (confirmed): 76 3/8 × 30 3/8 × 32 1/2 in., 831 lb. ( 194 × 77.2 × 82.6 cm, 376.9 kg) Rodin intended Eve and the towering Adam to flank his monumental bronze doorway, The Gates of Hell. There, the biblical progenitors of humanity would have stood as perpetual witnesses to the consequences of their sin—bodily death and the damnation of souls. As an independent sculpture, Eve is a physical manifesto of remorse; her body twisted in suffering, her face imprisoned within a gesture of anguish. The bronze casts of Adam and Eve were commissioned for The Met in 1910 from plaster models in the sculptor’s studio.  modeled 1880 or 1881, cast 1910. Overall (wt. confirmed): 68 1/2 × 20 1/2 × 23 1/2 in., 635 lb. ( 174 × 52.1 × 59.7 cm, 288 kg) |

我们西岸也有罗丹。 ：） 最近才去Stanford 看过，百看不厌。室外雕塑尤其好看，借光线反射，更有生命。罗丹说过，他的《思想者》连手和脚趾都在思索。  "Rodin was strongly influenced by the work of Michelangelo" --- absolutely. And Michelangelo was influenced by Greek and Roman sculptures, which he surpassed. |

"Rodin's debt to Michelangelo goes even further, for in the contorted, uncomfortable pose of Adam..." -- interesting to know. Thanks for sharing! |

I am a poor reader. Torso? Not sure what it is actually. Trying to read loud, so I can improve myself. Friends are saying I am doing much better. I sure hope so.
Anyway, I never read Rilke’s essay on Rodin. Beside knowing The Thinker a bit, I know absolutely nothing about sculpture as an art, nor paintings. I know a little bit of poetry, due to my biased interest. Not being falsely humble, speaking the truth here, so you can forgive me for my daring to record my reading. It is a good exercise for me.
