EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a preparatory study by the renowned sculptor Auguste Rodin. Titled "Two Figures" this intriguing artwork serves as a preliminary sketch for his iconic masterpiece, "The Gates of Hell". The piece is executed in lead-pencil and ink wash on paper, measuring 18x13 cm. In this composition, two figures take center stage. One figure stands tall with raised arms, exuding an air of strength and determination. The other figure, unmistakably Icarus from Greek mythology, possesses wings that symbolize his desire to escape earthly limitations. Rodin's annotations add depth to the artwork; he writes "Icare" in lead pencil at the bottom right corner and pens an evocative phrase in ink: "Reprends ces chairs que tu lui as donnees. . . Icare, le genie" (Take back these flesh you have given him. . . Icarus, the genius). This preparatory study captures the essence of Rodin's creative process as he explores themes of judgment and human struggle within his monumental sculpture. It offers viewers a glimpse into the artist's mind through its meticulous details and thoughtful annotations. Housed in Musee Rodin in Paris, France, this artwork exemplifies Rodin's mastery of capturing emotion through form. With its rich historical context and references to Greek mythology intertwined with modern artistic techniques, this drawing remains a testament to Rodin's enduring legacy in 19th-century art.
