Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) St. John the Bap st Preaching (Salon of 1880) (cast in 1921) As soon as I saw him, I was filled with Bronze (H: 6' 6 3/4”; 2 m.) admira on; this rough, hairy man expressed violence in his bearing… yet also the mys cal character of his race. I immediately thought of a Saint John the Bap st, in other words, a man of nature, a visionary, a believer, a precursor who came to announce one greater than himself. The peasant undressed, climbed onto the revolving stand as if he had never posed before; he planted himself firmly on his feet, head up, torso straight, at the same me pu ng his weight on both legs, open like a compass. The movement was so right, so straigh orward and so true that I cried: ‘but it’s a man walking!’ I immediately resolved to model what I had seen.” Gaudenzio Marconi (1842-1885) Male model (Pignatelli) posing for St. John the Bap st

Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) Walking Man (1905) Bronze (H: 6’ 11 ¾” ; H. 2.13 m.) Rodin: “Have you ever a en vely examined instantaneous photographs of walking figures? ….Photographs present the odd appearance of a man suddenly stricken with paralysis and petrified in his pose. …[In photography] there is no progressive development of movement as there is in art…[I]t is the ar sts who is truthful and it is photography which lies, for in reality me does not stop.”
