In the life of Emile-Antoine Bourdelle
The whole life1884–1929 · Workplace
Paris
1893–1908
Employed by: Auguste Rodin
1908
Breaks with Rodin and sets out on his own
In 1908 Bourdelle left Rodin’s studio and set out on his own: the paths of teacher and pupil finally parted. He was satisfied neither by the pompous style of Napoleon III’s Second Empire nor by the naturalistic methods of Rodin.
1909
“Hercules the Archer” shown at the Salon
In 1909 Bourdelle exhibited a new work, “Hercules the Archer”, at the annual Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. The statue’s desperate tension and dynamism stay within the frontality of ancient art and echo the Heracles from the pediment of the Temple of Aphaia on Aegina, around 500 BC.
1909

1909–1929
Twenty years of teaching at the Grande Chaumière
