Auguste Rodin

by Rainer Maria Rilke

First published 2018

Rodin's hands coax marble into breathtaking sculptures, but his growing renown brings isolation and personal turmoil. As he struggles to translate his bold vision into enduring art, Rilke's poetic prose immerses us in Rodin's creative process - the sensations of the studio, the ache of his creative genius.
