{"title":"RODIN, AUGUSTE","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuguste Rodin (1840–1917) was a French sculptor widely regarded as the founder of modern sculpture. Rejecting academic conventions, he emphasized naturalism, emotional expression, and the dynamic treatment of the human form. Rodin gained early recognition with \u003cem data-start=\"261\" data-end=\"280\"\u003eThe Age of Bronze\u003c\/em\u003e and later produced major works including \u003cem data-start=\"322\" data-end=\"335\"\u003eThe Thinker\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem data-start=\"337\" data-end=\"347\"\u003eThe Kiss\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem data-start=\"353\" data-end=\"377\"\u003eThe Burghers of Calais\u003c\/em\u003e. His monumental project \u003cem data-start=\"402\" data-end=\"421\"\u003eThe Gates of Hell\u003c\/em\u003e influenced much of his later output. Although controversial in his lifetime, Rodin’s innovative approach reshaped sculpture, bridging traditional realism and modern artistic expression.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/hickmet.com\/collections\/rodin-auguste.oembed","provider":"Hickmet Fine Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
