Father of Modern sculpture | Artist "Auguste Rodin" (1840 - 1917)

Francois Auguste Rene Rodin popularly known as Auguste Rodin was born on 12 November 1840, died on 17 November 1917. He was a French sculptor. He studied decorative arts and sculpture at an early age, but was rejected by the prestigious Ecole Des Beaux-Arts School. By the age of 19, after failing to gain admittance three times, Rodin began working odd jobs as a day laborer in plaster workshops. The artist travelled to Florence to study the sculptures of Michelangelo shortly before a turning point in his career, when, in 1877, the Salon finally accepted one of his works. By the end of the decade, he was a world-renowned artist despite continuing to provoke scandal with works such as The Burghers of Calais (1889). Auguste Rodin widely regarded as the father of Modern sculpture. Known for his expressive depictions of the human form in bronze and marble, Rodin is responsible for such iconic works as The Kiss (c. 1882) and The Thinker (1902).
