Rodin • Was originally part of a larger commission called the Gates of Hell which he never finished in the 37 years he worked on them • The gates were based on Dante’s Divine Comedy a 14th century epic poem • The gates inspired many of his other creations such as “the thinker” which originally represented the poet Dante • The Thinker was the first work by Rodin to get publicly displayed. • Currently there are several copies of the artwork throughout the world
Personal Thoughts on Rodin • Now answer one of the following ?’s or come up with your own ideas how your artwork relates to your life. • Take all the time provided and write at least a half page (you will be sharing these with your neighbor when we’re done) • If you represented thoughtfulness or poetry in an artwork what would it look like? Do you think it’s acceptable for an artist to take a job and then never finish it? If you were going to choose a story or poem to illustrate what is it and what would the artwork look like?
