Auguste Rodin by Benjamin Pico

Another famous sculptor would be Auguste Rodin who is most famous for his works such as The Gates of Hell and The Thinker. He was a Frenchmen who kept more traditional artistic routes and not venturing to the abstract view that were just becoming popular and like my project used clay in a variety of his sculptures. In his works he was known for putting a lot of thought and emotion into them, really making his  sculptures unique as if breathing in life and complexity. From what I have seen he also is known for portraying the human body in a nude fashion yet it is being present in an artistic style to show the beauty of man as creation of God.
