Lorie

Oh Lorie, te lutem :) .... it is always a pleasure for me to talk about art :D Rodin is one of my best sculptors in the modelled from live, wawww his technique is perfect, where the flesh seems to tremble and the soul to palpitate.

I posted this sculptures cause they were forbidden in their time :D, and “The kiss”, for example, was scandal object in England and EEUU, where suspenders puritans forbade the presentation to the public of this sculpture. During an exhibition in Chicago, on 1890 I think more or less, I am not sure, it was necessary visitor's special pass to have access to see it... hahahahaha do you imagine? :)

And do you know that the sculptures that I posted, belong to the time in which he fell in love with Camille Claudel :).

He had 43 years old and she just 20 :D. Camille came from a village, Villeneuve-sur-Frère-in-Tardenois, and she moved to Paris over 1883 I think. She already made sculptures of clay since she was kid, and when Rod�_n that was already famous when she went to Paris, he recognized in her to a born artist. Like him, she had the will of translating the real thing capturing the movement. Then Camille went to work to the work-shop of Rod�_n, as modeller of hands and feet; and it was when the love for the sculpture dragged them toward a carnal relationship, very sexual and stormy according to some historians :D, because their love was a forbidden love :) oh i love to know about the life of the artist that i like :D
