- "Rodin. Dessins libres"
Description
The Rodin Museum in Paris invites you to delve into Auguste Rodin's secret studio with this unique exhibition that reveals a little-known facet of his genius: freehand drawing. More than one hundred works, sketches and studies bear witness to the creative freedom that inspired the artist. These drawings convey spontaneity and a relentless pursuit of movement, offering a rare insight into the artistic process.
Boldness and sensuality of line
Rodin, famous for his iconic sculptures such as The Thinker and The Kiss, reveals himself here in all his graphic intimacy. His fluid and expressive lines capture the grace of the body and the power of emotions. This bold approach, sometimes considered provocative in his day, illustrates the modernity of his vision and his desire to push the boundaries of academic art.
A must-see museum in the heart of Paris
The Rodin Museum is much more than an exhibition space: it is a complete artistic experience. Housed in the elegant Hôtel Biron, it is home to the sculptor's masterpieces,. The landscaped garden, a veritable open-air museum, offers a unique stroll among monumental sculptures. With its architectural heritage, permanent collections and temporary exhibitions, the Rodin Museum is an essential stop for any art lover and a poetic interlude in the heart of Paris.
