Biography
Auguste Rodin, a renowned French sculptor, was born in Paris in 1840 and died in Meudon in 1917. His sculptures, often characterized by their unfinished appearance and emphasis on form, captured the essence of human emotion. Famous for works like "The Thinker" and "The Kiss," Rodin's sculptures explored themes of love, passion, and the human condition, pushing the boundaries of traditional sculpture. His innovative approach to sculpting, known as "impressionism," significantly influenced modern art.
