August Rodin, sculptor of the 19th century, was famous in Europe and in USA for his "thinker", for the "Bourgeois de Calais", his portraits of Victor Hugo and Balzac. Through his sculptures he was a wonderful storyteller. Rejected twice by the Fine Arts Academy, he was influenced by Michel Angelo and succeed in imposing his powerful style, between romantism and impressionism. He had a deep influence with his unconventional technique on several of his students : Jacques Maillol, Antoine Bourdelle. Famous painters such as Eugène Carrière, Claude Monet, Camile Pissaro were part of his cercle of friends. His rich love life was also a gossip subject for the "good society". He had a tumultuous love affair with Camille Claudel, and after their separation, continued to have love affairs with his female students and very wealthy American commissioners. . .
In Rodin museum : - his difficult debuts in the sculpture world - his first sculpture created in the total inconfort of a stable (only place he could afford) - his work in the studio of Carrier-Belleuse - l' "Age d'Airain" presented at the Academy and wrongly dismissed as a plaster cast - His work process with several parts of sculpture in different stages of accomplishment - Some of his famous portraits commissioned - His personal "cabinet of curiosité", his collection of antique casts. In Orsay museum : - The Balzac portrait (very controversial) - Various works of his students (Maillol, Bourdelle, Claudel) - More commissioned works To compare with others sculptors of his time, and see the evolution of the sculpture toward modernity.
