Auguste Rodin - Filmed Sculpting in his Studio (1915) 

I would love nothing more than to be in the same room as this phenomenal human being as he sculpts. Such a wonderful soul

What a Treasure! Thank you for sharing this! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rodin's wise eyes are luminous with love.... Genius, skill and perseverance alone could never have fashioned such emotionally uplifting beauty. How these treasured historical film fragments were preserved is astounding. Thanks for the share.🌹

I keep forgetting that Rodin lived into the 20th century. This is a wonderful glimpse into the everyday life of a great sculptor.

😍ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! A world-renowned artist who died more than 100 years ago....and here is a video of him alive and actually sculpting! Just amazing that this film clip still exists and is available to anyone with the internet to access it.

His whiskers must have been full by the end of his day in the studio. What a pleasure to see the glow in his eyes. He loves his art...so do I. Thank you for the post...truly a gift to see such geniuses in there craft at a time where the film was little available...

glad to be able to share! amazing to see this legendary sculptor at work, isn't it.

hi Catherineone i was just so amazed that this footage existed i just felt compelled to upload it! glad you like it too!

there is something fascinating about these old masters, better than an interview I think.

I was so surprised when I saw this. He was a incredible Artist. I have always loved his work ❤

Anyone who sculpts The Thinker so beautifully is indeed both a Master Sculpture and a Master Stone Mason to. There weren’t any safety issues with marble chips that might get caught in ones eyes, but I thought it delightful seeing the amount of marble chips in Auguste Rodin’s beard.

Very interesting thank you for all your clips that you have put on youtube.

hi Andrew yes, at 1.27 he looks at the viewer and his nervousness makes him so human - not now the great modern sculptor very pleased you're liking these films - they are about on YT but i couldn't resist putting them all together as i have the doco they originally came from. lots of other footage of singers, politicians, composers and so on too. cheers!

Love it-no safety glasses, pieces of marble flying into his beard!

yo hubiese dado la mitad de mi vida por solo escucharlo hablar... este video me llego al corazón, gracias por este gran regalo :)

@ 1:26 AR brings powerfully burning eyes of a childlike eternity fascinating envisioned gardens of joy, in my opinion.

I support you with all my heart, bravo to you.

Wonderful to see this. I loved the very short clip at 1:27. You are doing us all a great service by tracking down all these clips and making them available. Great work.

Thank you. Smiles.

Amazing footage I didn't know it existed until now

Astounding footage. So grateful to get to see it. Thank you.

hi supertortoise thanks very much - support is really appreciated! it's encouragement like yours that makes it so easy to begin again - thanks again. :)

First of all, I _KNEW_ it was Ashkenazy playing Chopin!! He found such a sweetness of tone for this and other pieces of Chopin that he recorded, so fluid, with remarkably subtle articulation....he’s one of my very favorite pianists. And what’s to be said about Rodin?? Every view of his head and face begs to be sculpted, he so resembles a Roman emperor with that gorgeous French nose! But the intensity in his eyes while sculpting, when he glances towards the camera, was amazing to see....truly the fire of creativity and genius! I’ve watched the video several times, just wonderful!

Grazie per la condivisione di questo splendido documento :)

this is priceless ! thank you

Well, I only adore Camille Claudel...!!! He wouldn't be anything without her!!!

hi pediatrapaola curiously i'm invigorated by the prospect of tidying up the videos and improving them and then uploading them again thanks for your support - it's really been a help and had been much appreciated by the way, if you can think of a curse to put on a certain person, let me know immediately - LOL!

Schwere Arbeit in dem Alter, die er leistet, alle Achtung, die Hände tun ihm sicher Abends weh !! :)) Danke für das schöne Video :))

it gives me a weird sensation to watch this. this afternoon i've seen a little exhibition of rodin's works in milan and the "slavic woman" appearing on the right from minute 1:31 was among them.

Hi John, Wonderful film! Were did you find it? I want to write a blog on the history and making of this film, do you have some pointers were to look? Thank you so much! Best, Michelle

Thanks to share it John Hall!! :-))

I wish there was a film of John Singer Sargent. I read he was friends with Monet an I was hoping there may have been a film of them together somewhere...

Passionnant ..... Merci !

hi Giuliana - sì, proprio vedendolo all'opera consente di capire il suo processo di meglio!

very precious video.

Wow I am so lucky to see this angel

hi David glad you like it -the music is Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2, 2nd Movement cheers!

amazing!

!!.. Muy Interesante documental..!!

That's so historic.

Came here cause they just bring something about him today on arte TV. Sat 24.04.21😊👍

Wonderful! What was the background music that you used?

Beautiful low tech... no mobile phones. Wonderful.

Gorgeous piano performance of the Chopin 2nd Piano Concert. It is always good to know who the artists are. Who is the pianist, the conductor and the orchestra ? Thanks

Hello Mr. Hall, very interesting footage! Do you know from which archives it comes from, respectively who owns the rights?

Please i need know whats name of music in video i from Brasil

มันเป็นเรื่องที่ยอดเยี่ยมไม่ได้ - ดีใจที่คุณชอบมัน

❤❤

🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️

Hi John, we are currently doing a documentary on Rodin in Chile and we would like to license some of the footage in this clip, is there a way to contact you regarding this issue? pleas elet me know. Thanks!

Very interesting to see him active and chipping away at marble. I read the book entitled "Naked Came I" when I was very young and I was not impressed with his life style. He definitely was different.

I cried

beautiful music! What is it?

เหมือนในความไฝ่ฝัน ผมเลยครับ !!

Bits of stone in his beard...

background music reminds me of " the Pianist ".

AMAZING SCULPTOR...........READ HIS BOOK ' 'NAKED CAME I'

nice music

what song is this?

Ne kadar basarili olsa da aklimda hep camille claudel i delirten adam olacak kalacak..

I am Brazilian, what song is this? (Sou Brasileiro, que música é essa?)

Aquele slv para o pessoal do 7 ano c

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍😍❤😍

Tem no magaluuuu

oha without safety glasses!

Ai ne o video ne velho n

Rodin never carved in marble. Sometimes he posed for the cameras. He only loved clay .

Tem no magalu

that idiot of selfconsidering pavlova copyrighter did a disaster you have to do a great work to upload again your material.

this film co needs to dissolve

Rodin was a good sculptor but he made suffer Camille Claudel and used her like he slept with many ladies who were his models.The sculptor was good and gifted,the man was a BASTARD and had no morals..

He did not do his own sculpting at this time. The footage is faked for the camera.

Overrated.

Hi John, Wonderful film! Were did you find it? I want to write a blog on the history and making of this film, do you have some pointers were to look? Thank you so much! Best, Michelle
