The Exhibition the Artist The Exhibition The Sabancı University Sakıp Sabancı Museum (SSM) will host works by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin starting from June 13, 2006. The exhibition titled “The Master Sculptor Rodin in Istanbul” comprises 203 artworks selected from the collection of the Rodin Museum in Paris. The exhibition features the artist’s bronze, plaster and marble sculptures, archival photographs, many drawings as well as some pieces from his collection of antique-style statues. Among nearly 100 sculptures that will be exhibited by SSM, which aims to promote wider public appreciation of the art of sculpture through the works of a renown master sculptor, are Rodin’s masterpieces like The Thinker, The Kiss, The Burghers of Calais, The Monument to Balzac and The Walking Man. In addition to 18 statues and many other diassembled- assembled pieces drawn from The Gates of Hell, on which Rodin worked for long years but could not succeed to complete, 20 antique-style statues from Rodin’s special collection are displayed at the exhibition. The bronze horse statue, after which the Horse Mansion was named and which has been saluting the Bosphorus since 1952, has been replaced with the Monument to Victor Hugo for the first time on the occasion of the exhibition. The statue of the renown poet, writer and thinker Victor Hugo made by Rodin is 1.85 m in height and 2.85 m in width. The photographs and sketches exhibited along with the other works enable visitors to track the artist’s journey from his early works to his most famous masterpieces, and also shed light on the artist as a sketcher and a collector. The bilingual exhibition catalogue, which was prepared in Turkish and English, and whose texts were compiled by Samih Rifat, briefs on Rodin’s life and artistic journey. The exhibition also proposes a set of events such as conferences, sculpture workshops and training programs for the kids. The exhibition, which is sponsored by Akbank and held in cooperation with the Rodin Museum in Paris and the French Cultural Center, will be open until September 3, 2006. The Artist Born in Paris on November 12, 1840, François-Auguste-René Rodin discovered sculpture after he attended La Petite École, a special school for drawing and mathematics, and began to improve his drawing skill. He rented his first workshop in 1864 and met Rose Beuret, aged 20. In 1871, he exhibited his works in Belgium for the first time. In 1875, he started to work 1 on a life-size human body, which he called The Bronze Age. In 1882, he sculptured the figures of Adam, Eve and the Thinker. After a while, he met Camille Claudel who soon became his mistress and biggest rival. In 1883, he created his Monument to Victor Hugo, and was commissioned by the City Council of Calais to sculpture the Monument to the Burghers of Calais two years later. The following year, he completed The Kiss. In 1888, the state commissioned The Kiss in marble for the Universal Exhibition. In 1889, he exhibited together with Claude Monet, the famous French painter and one of the founders of impressionism. In 1895, he bought the Villa des Brillants in Meudon and started to build up his collection of paintings and antique statues. The Rodin Pavilion was inaugurated at the Alma Square in Paris on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition of 1900, and a major exhibition of Rodin took place in Prague in 1902. In 1904, the first exhibition of a large-scale plaster of The Thinker took place at the International Society in London, then a bronze version of it at the Salon de Paris. The Thinker was placed in front of the Panthéon in 1906, which was later taken to Hôtel Biron (now the Rodin Museum) in 1908. The French National Assembly decided to establish the Rodin Museum in the Hôtel Brion in memory of the artist who handed over his collections to the state through three successive donations. On January 29, 1917, Rodin married Rose Beuret. Rose died on February 14, Valentine’s Day. Died on November 17, Rodin was buried next to Rose in the garden of Villa des Brillants in Meudon. Their tomb is dominated by The Thinker. The Works Exhibited The exhibition features a total of 203 works selected from among the Rodin Museum’s collection in Paris, including: . 22 plaster, 2 marble, 79 bronze statues - Masterpieces like The Thinker, The Kiss, The Monument to the Burghers of Calais, The Monument to Balzac, The Walking Man and The Monument to Victor Hugo - Statues derived from the famous Gates of Hell composition - 19 antique statues from Rodin’s special collection . 23 photographs and 58 drawings.

  • A Passion for Rodin Set a Manhattan Couple on an Ambitious Collecting Journey& Covering the Past Century of Art History
    dreamers creators A passion for Rodin set a Manhattan couple on an ambitious collecting journey& covering the past century of art history. By Margie Goldsmith • Photography by Billy Cunningham The collector looks up at his cast of “The Thinker.” Perhaps he is recalling what Rodin himself wrote about his sculpture: “The Thinker has a story. In the days long gone by I conceived the idea of the Gates of Hell. Before the door, seated on the rock, Dante thinking of the plan of the poem behind him ... all the characters from the Divine Comedy. This proj- ect was not realized. Thin ascetic Dante in his straight robe separated from all the rest would have been without meaning. Guided by my first inspiration I conceived another thinker, a naked man, seated on a rock, his fist against his teeth, he dreams. The fertile thought slowly elaborates itself within his brain. He is no longer a dreamer, he is a creator.” Rodin’s tale helps reveal why a boy from a small Mid- western town who became one of New York’s most suc- cessful fund managers would identify with a working-class sculptor whose masterpieces created a Rodin, “The Thinker,” conceived bronze bridge between 19th-century Romanticism and c. 1880 (this version was cast 20th-century Modernism. “I identify with the creativity and the before 1952), bronze with dark passion with which Rodin led his life,” says the collector, who brown and green patina. wishes to remain anonymous, as he continues to regard “The Charles Ephraim Burchfield, “Sultry Thinker.” “Look at the combination of strength, beauty and emo- Day” (right), 1957, watercolor on tional passion that Rodin manages to put in a lump of bronze.

  • Rodin Biography
    Contact: Norman Keyes, Jr., Director of Media Relations Frank Luzi, Press Officer (215) 684-7864 [email protected] AUGUSTE RODIN’S LIFE AND WORK François-Auguste-René Rodin was born in Paris in 1840. By the time he died in 1917, he was not only the most celebrated sculptor in France, but also one of the most famous artists in the world. Rodin rewrote the rules of what was possible in sculpture. Controversial and celebrated during his lifetime, Rodin broke new ground with vigorous sculptures of the human form that often convey great drama and pathos. For him, beauty existed in the truthful representation of inner states, and to this end he often subtly distorted anatomy. His genius provided inspiration for a host of successors such as Henri Matisse, Constantin Brancusi and Henry Moore. Unlike contemporary Impressionist Paul Cézanne---whose work was more revered after his death---Rodin enjoyed fame as a living artist. He saw a room in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York dedicated to his work and willed his townhouse in Paris, the Hôtel Biron, to the state as a last memorial to himself. But he was also the subject of intense debate over the merits of his art, and in 1898 he attracted a storm of controversy for his unconventional monument to French literary icon Honoré de Balzac. MAJOR EVENTS IN RODIN’S LIFE 1840 November 12. Rodin is born in Paris. 1854 Enters La Petite École, a special school for drawing and mathematics. 1857 Fails in three attempts to be admitted at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts.

  • The Psychology of Satan Jennifer Putnam This Paper Was Written for Dr
    The Psychology of Satan Jennifer Putnam This paper was written for Dr. Thomas! Milton course. It was presented at the 2009 Sigma Tau Delta International Convention. John Milton!s Satan is a psychologically complex character. Satan has qualities which make him a brilliant leader, but which also cause him great pain. He is a militant ruler with powerful speeches, and a cunning deceiver with rich disguises. The actions Satan takes, however, cause him great an- guish. It is through his soliloquies that Satan takes off his mask and reveals the troubled person he really is. John Milton in Paradise Lost portrays Satan as a proud, passionately manipulative, and complex character that endures an internal conflict from which he cannot escape. Though Milton begins his masterpiece in medias res, we must start from the beginning with Satan as the angel Lucifer. Lucifer enjoys his high stature in Heaven, until the Son is anointed instead of him, and he becomes jeal- ous. It is then that Lucifer draws emotionally away from God and Heaven. James Holley Hanford and James Taaffe show the results of this jealousy by commenting, “Following God!s announcement of the Son!s elevation, Satan initially defected from the angelic forces” (172). His defection is a result of be- ing too proud of being a servant, which leads to anger and thus, his rebellion. Royland Frye points out the irony of Satan!s refusal to become a slave in that Satan actually becomes a slave to his emotions. Frye says, “As a result of his choice, he becomes a slave to what would, psychologically, be called an "ego- deal,! an identification of the self with an impossible image,” (35).

"! Statement of authority of access This exegesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Australian Copyright Act 1968. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– David Hamilton ! ""! Abstract The project is an investigation of processes that contrive to influence how visual objects are viewed and interpreted. I believe that all artworks are composed of a combination of physical and conceptual fragments, with the physical object constituting but a small yet important part of the viewer’s perceptual experience. To me, the role of an art object is to be a specifically crafted initiator, setting in train a process that builds a vision of a whole that is more than the object itself. I contend that a fragment of an artwork has a definite edge, a point where its physical being ceases, but also marking a transition where an ambiguity begins: there is an unseen continuation which surrounds all art objects. This is explored through an overview of the fragment, particularly in Western sculptural and light forms. In a metaphoric sense, the undefined and ephemeral space beyond the object is inhabited by elements that fall in and out of focus: it is a place where cognition of them is always fleeting. It is these parts, not physically represented by the object, but merely inferred as a consequence of the object, that are the subject of investigation.

  • The Necessity of Rodin by Eric Gibson
    Features December 2017 The necessity of Rodin by Eric Gibson On four exhibitions across the world that commemorate the centennial of Auguste Rodin’s death. The idea was too tempting to resist: see as many of the displays commemorating the one-hundredth anniversary of Auguste Rodin’s death (born in 1840, he died in 1917) as possible, in an effort to take, once and for all, the measure of this artist and to come to terms with the paradox of his legacy. Though widely recognized as “the father of modern sculpture,” Rodin was repudiated by those who came after, most famously by Constantin Brancusi. No single exhibition has ever seemed equal to the task of capturing the essence of this artist. Perhaps, I thought, an approach as various and discontinuous as Rodin’s art itself, one that took in multiple exhibitions, would do the trick. The checklists would overlap, but the individual emphases would vary, producing a kaleidoscopic image of the artist through whose multiple facets and fragments might emerge a clearer picture than that provided by a unitary, more tightly circumscribed effort. But which exhibitions? There are eight in the No single exhibition has ever United States, one in France, and one in Mexico, as well as six permanent collection seemed equal to the task of installations in America. I eliminated any that capturing the essence of Rodin. didn’t focus exclusively on Rodin, and those featuring large numbers of the posthumous bronze casts that have so distorted our perception of the artist. That left four shows: Paris, New York, Philadelphia, and Cleveland.
