Shortly before the death of Auguste Rodin (1840 - 1917), the Welsh poet and essayist, Arthur Symons
(1865-1945), reviewed a book written by the French writer, Judith Cladel
(1873-1958) concerning the artist's work and creative temperament:
"'Auguste Rodin pris sur la Vie' at once a document and a living thing. The main interest lies in the exactitude with which it records the actual words of Rodin, much as he must have spoken them"
In 1955, the artist's model who posed for Rodin's sculpture "The Kiss", hammed it up for the cameras in a PEOPLE TODAY photo-essay. Click here to see it.
