"..The group suggests the hesitation between Rodin's former mistress - Rose Beuret, who would win, and Camille, to detain him, leans forward. Beyond her personal history, Camille performs a symbolic leading a meditation on human relationships. She herself is embodied in the guise of a character she calls the Imploring, marking the tragic attached to its destiny.
The man at the end of its maturity is caused by the dizzying age while he extends a hand to youth useless. The nude figures are surrounded by flying draperies that enhance the speed of travel Large oblique flee. Paul Claudel said this: "My sister Camille, imploring, humiliated on her knees, this beautiful, this proud, and you know what tore at her right now, right before your eyes, is its soul".." - from Musée d'Orsay website -
"...The Maturity demonstrates the cruel abandonment of Rodin. Now, only Camille wrote to his brother, Paul Claudel: "I'm always drawn to my group of three. I'll put a hanging tree that expresses the destiny.".. - more from Wiki -
Nature Unveiling Herself before Science
View On Large - a must-view!
"At the summit, the Group of Three Shadows is actually a very modern approach, the triple repetition of the same figure with one arm amputated. At the pier, The Thinker (Dante himself) overlooking the abyss. On the right wing is recognized Ugolino. On the left, Paolo and Francesca are part of a plummeting body. All emerged from the boiling lava. Convulsed attitudes reflect despair, pain, curse..." - from Musée d'Orsay website -
"Yes, nice picture. I saw "The gates" also at Le musee Rodin in Paris, and also the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia." - a comment from flickr's friend, marksobers.
"Work symbolist par excellence, allowing full freedom to the imagination, the high relief gives free rein to the vehemence and power of expression of the human body in an indeterminate space, greatly disturbed by the play of shadow and light.." - from Musée d'Orsay website -
Ugolin by Auguste Rodin, Entre 1882 et 1906, at Musée d'Orsay
"The Divine Comedy, Rodin said, never left him: he always had a copy in his pocket. This is one of the darkest episodes of the great poem of Dante he shows here. The Count Ugolino, walled with his sons in prison where should become their tomb, sees them die, then pushed by hunger, eat their flesh before dying too.
Ugolino wanders, devoid of any human dignity, reduced to a beast. "Skinny, skinny, ribs protruding under the skin (...), the empty mouth and lips soft, which seems to come (...) a drooling beast of hungry, crawling, and a hyena who unearthed corpses , overturned on the body of his son, whose arms and legs inert hang here and there in the abyss "(Octave Mirbeau).
Figure constructed around a central void, the modeling tortured, dismembered bodies of children, deformed limbs, while accentuating the morbid and dramatic expression..." - from Musée d'Orsay website -
