　About Rodin　關(guān)于羅丹

     Fran?ois-Auguste-René Rodin, known as Auguste Rodin, was a French sculptor. Although Rodin is generally considered the progenitor of modern sculpture, he did not set out to rebel against the past. He was schooled traditionally, took a craftsman-like approach to his work, and desired academic recognition, although he was never accepted into Paris's foremost school of art.
     Sculpturally, Rodin possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, deeply pocketed surface in clay. Many of his most notable sculptures were roundly criticized during his lifetime. They clashed with the predominant figure sculpture tradition, in which works were decorative, formulaic, or highly thematic. Rodin's most original work departed from traditional themes of mythology and allegory, modeled the human body with realism, and celebrated individual character and physicality. Rodin was sensitive of the controversy surrounding his work, but refused to change his style. Successive works brought increasing favor from the government and the artistic community.
     From the unexpected realism of his first major figure-inspired by his 1875 trip to Italy-to the unconventional memorials whose commissions he later sought, Rodin's reputation grew, such that he became the preeminent French sculptor of his time. By 1900, he was a world-renowned artist. Wealthy private clients sought Rodin's work after his World's Fair exhibit, and he kept company with a variety of highprofile intellectuals and artists. He married his life-long companion, Rose Beuret, in the last year of both their lives. His sculpture suffered a decline in popularity after his death in 1917, but within a few decades his legacy solidified. Rodin remains one of the few sculptors widely known outside the visual arts community.
     可以說(shuō)，羅丹用他在古典主義時(shí)期鍛煉得成熟而有力的大手，用他不為傳統(tǒng)束縛的創(chuàng)造精神，為新時(shí)代打開了現(xiàn)代雕塑的大門；當(dāng)年輕的藝術(shù)家們蜂擁而入向前跑去時(shí)，他卻已入衰邁之年，他走不動(dòng)了。他的創(chuàng)作對(duì)歐洲近代雕塑的發(fā)展有較大影響。
     羅丹的一生是被人攻擊和嘲諷、同時(shí)亦為人理解和支持的一生。但他始終以一種偉大的人格正確地面對(duì)這一切。羅丹一生攀登，并終于登上米開朗基羅之后的又一高峰。羅丹堅(jiān)信"藝術(shù)即感情"。他的全部作品都證明了這一觀念，都深刻揭示了人類的豐富情感。羅丹偏愛悲壯的主題，善于從殘破中發(fā)掘出力與美，這使他的藝術(shù)具備博大精深的品格。他開創(chuàng)了一個(gè)全新的時(shí)代，創(chuàng)造了一種全新的藝術(shù)手法。他的作品所體現(xiàn)出的思想和精神魅力，永遠(yuǎn)帶給人以深沉的美，啟迪著人們不停地思考。
