Editor: Here we have "Seated Female Figure Leaning Back," a watercolor attributed to an imitator of Rodin. It has such a casual, unfinished quality. What can you tell me about its context? Curator: Well, think about Rodin's fame. This imitator likely sought to capitalize on Rodin's market appeal, knowing his style was highly sought after. The sketch-like quality also aligns with the public's fascination with the artistic process. Editor: So, was it about mimicking Rodin's style, or about selling an image of artistic genius? Curator: It’s both, isn't it? This reflects a broader commercialization of art. Editor: I never thought about it that way before. Thanks!
