Auguste sculptor | English

François Auguste René Rodin ( 1840 – 1917 ) was a French sculptor, generally considered the founder of modern sculpture. He was schooled traditionally and took a craftsman-like approach to his work. Rodin possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, and deeply pocketed surface in clay. He is known for such sculptures as The Thinker, Monument to Balzac, The Kiss, The Burghers of Calais, and The Gates of Hell. #Rodin #frenchsculptor #sculptures #art #greatpeople #thegreats
