The Poet and the Contemplative Life (The Fenaille Column)
Published 2017-03-17T11:22:56+00:00
Rodin aspired to be, and almost succeeded in becoming, the Michelangelo of modern sculpture. No single figure in the 19th century can match the sheer range, ambition, and scale of his achievement, and no true history of European sculpture could omit him. Almost as if to challenge Baudelaire's famous essay, "Why Sculpture is Boring," written for his review of the 1846 Salon (Baudelaire 1961, 943-45), Rodin reinvigorated figural sculpture just as the Impressionists were giving new life to the pictorial arts in France.
Nevertheless, because of the traditionalism and craft-based production of sculpture, Rodin's art has more (and more obvious) debts to Renaissance and baroque art than does the painting of the Impressionists and their followers.
