1850, Bronze, H 38 cm
In 1850, as Louis Napoleon
seemed to be an increasing
threat to the republic, Daumier
fashioned a sculptured
caricature, Ratapoil ("Ratskin"),
which symbolized the whole
class of Bonapartist followers
and Napoleon himself.

Auguste Rodin (1840-1917)
French sculptor. Rodin is generally
considered the progenitor of modern
sculpture.
His works are distinguished by their
strength and realism.
In 1864 Rodin met a seamstress named
Rose Beuret. She became his life
companion and was the model for many
of his works. The couple bore a son,
Auguste Beuret. Rodin married her in
the last year of both their lives.

Auguste Rodin, The Age of
Bronze, modeled 1876, (this
bronze cast ca. 1906,); H. 72 in.
(182.9 cm)
The lively modeling of the nude
and its deceptively realistic
appearance represented such a
departure from the conventions of
academic sculpture of the time
that Rodin was accused of
casting from a live model, a
practice greatly frowned upon.

“The sculptor must learn to
reproduce the surface,
which means all that
vibrates on the surface, soul,
love, passion, life…
sculpture is thus the art of
hollows and mounds, not of
smoothness or even polished
planes.”
Auguste Rodin

The art critic Octave Mirbeau wrote she
was "A revolt against nature: a woman
genius".
The French sculptor Camille Claudel (1864-1943)
was the muse, pupil, and lover of Auguste
Rodin, as well as a major artist in her own right.
After her breakup with Rodin in
1898, Claudel composed some
of her best sculptures, yet she
grew increasingly reclusive and
paranoid. In 1913 her family
committed her to an asylum,
where she remained for the last
30 years of her life.

Edgar Degas.
Little Dancer, Fourteen Years Old. Cast in 1922
from a mixed-media sculpture modeled ca. 1879–
80
Bronze, partly tinted, with cotton skirt and satin
hair ribbon, on a wooden base; H. 41 1/4 in.
(104.8 cm)
Original materials: wax, silk bodice, tulle and
gauze tutu, fabric slippers, real hair tied with a
ribbon.
This sculpture was exhibited at the 1881
Impressionist exhibition, the only time the
artist showed one of his sculptures.
Edgar Degas made many sculptures.
Created in the privacy of his studio, those
wax figures were not intended for public
display; his heirs had them cast in bronze
after his death.
