Beautiful framed giclee print by the French artist Auguste Rodin (1840-1917)
He was born in Paris and began drawing and sculpting at an early age.
Auguste Rodin, the famous French sculptor, was deeply inspired by the Cambodian dancers he met during their visit to France in 1906. This meeting took place during the Colonial Exhibition in Marseille, where the Cambodian Royal Ballet performed. Rodin was fascinated by the grace, fluidity and intricate movements of their hands and arms.
Rodin followed the group to Marseille and, in just one week, created around 150 drawings of the dancers. These drawings, later colored with watercolor, captured the essence of Khmer dance and reflected Rodin's fascination with the timeless and universal nature of their movements. He believed that the dancers embodied the unity of nature across time and space, and their performances left a lasting impression on him.
Rodin's sketches of the Cambodian dancers are considered some of his most refined works, demonstrating his ability to capture the divine sensuality he admired in ancient art.
Dimensions: 41x26cm and with frame 71x51cm
