According to Christie’s, Auguste Rodin’s expressive style re-contextualized how artists use the medium of sculpture, and he demonstrated why he’s the father of modern sculpture with works such as The Thinker and The Kiss. Interestingly, both were supposed to be part of a masterpiece inspired by Dante’s Inferno called The Gates Of Hell before they became standalone pieces.
