Both tortured and difficult souls, but not really kindred spirits. If I had to choose to keep the work of one or the other, I would choose Rilke. But that only means that - even though this blog is about the graphic arts - I still prioritize words over images. Rodin thought with his hands, Rilke with his words.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020242863144175965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340634554199883217.post-16992235817401753192010-08-28T19:45:01.201+01:002010-08-28T19:45:01.201+01:00Rainer Maria Rilke was quite more smart and brilli...Rainer Maria Rilke was quite more smart and brilliant than Auguste Rodin; I know I am not really objective at all because I am so interested in reading his masterpieces! <br /><br />You easily notice his unique way of thinking through his letters with Lou Andrea Salome, and with some other pen-pals; his words were deep, well-chosen and full of poetry! <br /><br />Auguste Rodin was not known for his rhetoric at all. <br /><br />EmelineAdmin.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073318674384344526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340634554199883217.post-68226816811414243442010-08-27T18:59:36.159+01:002010-08-27T18:59:36.159+01:00Another talented woman ensnared by Rodin.

My guess is that Rilke was as myopic about his hero's behavior toward women as he was about his own. Jeanne Bardey's work joins that of Claudel and John in showing that bad behavior isn't necesaary for the making of art.Jane Librizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943563452168571716noreply@blogger.com
