Translation testament Auguste Rodin by Soumaya Slim and Gabriela Romero Tamayo Huerta the book: " Auguste Rodin. Camille Claudel"
" Young people who want to be officiating of beauty, perhaps they like to find here the summary long experience. Amen
devoutly to teachers who preceded them. Bow down before Phidias and Michelangelo. Admire the serenity of a divine, the brutal angst other. The wine is a generous admiration for noble spirits. Take care, without
however, to imitate their older. Respectful of tradition, able to discern what she holds of endlessly fruitful: the love of nature and sincerity.
These are the two strongest passions of geniuses. All have worshiped Nature and have never lied. That tradition will tend the key by which you will evade routine. It's the same tradition who advised question without reality and who constantly preserves to submit blindly to a teacher.
that nature is the only goddess. Take her absolute faith. are certain that it never is ugly and limit their ambition to be faithful. Everything is beautiful for the artist, as throughout being and every thing, his penetrating gaze reveals the character is say, the inner truth that is transparent in the form. And this truth is beauty itself . Religious studies, can not fail to find beauty, because they find the truth.
Work hard. Strengthen in you, sculptors, the meaning of depth. EI spirit hardly familiar with this notion, that is not differently than surfaces. Imagine ways to volume is annoying him. That is, however, his job. First of all, to establish clearly big plans to sculpt figures. strongly accentuate the guidance given to each part of the body, head, shoulders, the pelvis , legs. The decision calls art. While output is accused of lines that penetrate the space and take over the depth.
When his plans to stop, everything has been found. His statue is already living. The details born and then arranged for themselves.
By modeling, I never think on the surface, but in relief. May his spirit conceived any surface as the tip of a volume that pushes him from behind.
levant Imagine the ways recovery from a substance to you. All life comes from a center, then germinates and spreads from the inside out. Similarly, the beautiful sculpture is always a powerful guess inner impulse. That's the secret of ancient art.
You, painters and observed in reality in depth. Take, for example , a portrait by Raphael. When this teacher represents a character in front, obliquely outputs chest and so is the illusion of three dimensions. All the great painters space probe. Is the notion of thickness where strength lies. remember this: no lines, only volumes. When you draw, do not worry never contour, but the relief. Relief is what governs the boundary. Ejercítense without rest. You need to be delivered to the office.
EI
art is that feeling. But without the knowledge of the volumes of proportions of the colors without the direction of the hand, feeling more alive is paralyzed.
What will be the great poet in a foreign country that ignores the language? In the new generation of artists, there are a number of poets who, unfortunately, refuse to learn to speak it. Why do m ore than babble. Patience! not have the inspiration. There. The unique qualities of the artist are wisdom, care, sincerity, will. Perform their duty as honest workers.
Be real, young. But that does not mean they are merely accurate. There basic accuracy: the photography and casting. EI does not start more art with inner truth. All kinds, all colors, translate feelings. The artist who is content with the look and who slavishly reproduce details will never be worthless teacher. If you have visited a cemetery in Italy undoubtedly have noticed that childishness artists commissioned to decorate the graves are given the task of copying, its statues, ornaments , lintels, braids horse. Are probably accurate. are not true, because they do not address the soul. Almost all of our sculptors remember those Italian cemeteries. In the monuments of our public spaces
do not distinguish more than Levites, tables, lamps, chairs, machines, balloons, telegraph. Point of inner truth, then point of art. Horrorícense to this ropavejería.
deeply and tenaciously Sean truthful. Do not ever hesitate to express what they feel, even when they are in opposition to established ideas. You may not be included at first. But its isolation will not last long. friends soon come to you because that which is deeply true for a man is for everyone. And yet, without faces, without contortions to attract public. Simplicity, innocence! The most beautiful subjects are in front of you
: those who know them best ...
My very dear and great Eugène Carrière, who left us so soon, showed genius paint his wife and children. Not enough to celebrate the maternal love be sublime.
Teachers are those who look with their own eyes what everyone saw and know see the beauty of it is too com m on to other spirits. The bad artists always see through the glasses of others.
The big point is moved, to love, wait, tremble, to live. Being a man before being an artist! True eloquence makes fun of eloquence, said Pascal. EI true art mocks the art. I return here the example of Eugène Carrière. In the presentations, most of the pictures are no more that painting: yours appear amid the other two windows open to life!
should welcome fair criticism. The OTHERS ARE recognize easily. Are confirming the doubt that besiege. Do not be wrapped by his conscience does not support. not fear the criticism unfair. Angered her friends. force them to reflect on the sympathy that they have and brag about it more strongly when better discern the reasons.
If your talent is new, not counting an al principle rather than few supporters and have a multitude of enemies. Do not be discouraged. The first triumph since know why love, the others are unaware why they are hateful é. The first are passionate about the truth and constantly gaining new adherents, the other did not witness any zeal durable for his false opinion. The first are tenacious the others fly to the winds. The victory of truth is true.
not waste your time tying worldly or political relations. Will many of his colleagues arrived in the plot to honors and fortune are not true artists . Some among them are, however, very smart and if you undertake fight with them over the same ground, will consume much time as themselves, ie, his whole life, then they will have no more than a minute to be artists.
Amen mission passionately. There is more beauty in it. Is much higher of what people think. The artist gives a great example. Adora his office: his most precious reward and joy of doing well. Today, alas, is persuade the workers for their misfortune to hate work and sabotage. EI world will only be happy when all people have souls of artists, ie
when all your work done with pleasure.
EI art is indeed a great lesson in honesty. EI true artist always expressed his mind at the risk of hitting all the prejudices established. And teaches openness to their peers. Now, imagine what wonderful progress suddenly be made if the absolute truth reign among men! Ah, how quickly the company would get rid of the errors and baseness
would have confessed and how quickly our country would become a Paradise! "
