Auguste Rodin: The Life of a Sculptor

Rejected innumerable times, Rodin stubbornly pursued his artistic vision and eventually rose to controversial prominence. This program, in which many of his masterpieces are displayed, chronicles the life of this prolific artist who, in his effort to grasp what couldn’t be seen, achieved remarkable levels of both realism and impressionism that evoked strong reactions from his public. Highlights include The Age of Bronze life cast scandal, the rejection of his sculpture of Balzac, the story of his unfinished Gates of Hell, and his struggle to have The Burghers of Calais displayed, along with examples of his drawings and paintings.
