		Rodin is often considered the first sculptor to successfully translate into three dimensions the effects of direct observation and the spontaneity of Impressionist painting.
		Rodin modeled his surfaces into a series of "hollows and lumps" to capture the effects of light, so important to the Impressionists, and made the manipulation of the hand evident, which lent a haptic quality never before seen in sculpture.
		Rodin disdained artifice to such a degree that, as art historian Rosalind Krauss has pointed out, he allowed the unintended ridges and bubbles resulting from the bronze casting to remain, so that the sculptures are "visual evidence of the passage of the medium itself from one state to another."

	AUGUSTE RODIN PROJECT
		The key to Rodin’s life was his relationships with women: his strong ties to his sister, who died when he was twenty-two; a lifelong union with Rose Beuret, whom he married only at the very end of their lives; and a heartbreaking affair with Camille Claudel, from which neither participant ever fully recovered.
		Rodin was able to translate his immense passion for work and his abiding love of the human form into thousands of small and many grand works, the animate patterns of solitary genius.
		Rodin distilled this process into the phrase "to work well." The aesthetic of the fragment and the studio as the final shape of art constitute Rodin’s legacy for modern sculpture.
