The Genius of the Sculptor, c. 1880-1883. Creator: Auguste Rodin (French, 1840-1917)
The Genius of the Sculptor, c. 1880-1883. The Genius of the Sculptor treats an essential, self-referential theme in the art and life of Auguste Rodin. During his lifetime and afterward, he was viewed as the modern equivalent to the Renaissance genius of sculpture, Michelangelo (1475-1564). Moreover, Rodin repeatedly explored the theme of male creative genius in major works, such as the famous Thinker, a cast of which is owned by the museum. In this drawing, Rodin depicted the artist in active thought with his hand on his head, accompanied by a wingless " genius" floating up from him. He derived this symbol of inner creative energy from the traditional subject of the winged muse descending to inspire
