关于这件雕塑

In his early work, Rodin strove for anatomical realism, but by the 1890s he adopted a more conceptual approach to his work that anticipated developments in 20th-century sculpture. This figure comprises parts of several different figures - head, limbs and torso - assembled and then cast as a single figure.

This figure is related to Rodin's studies for Iris, Messenger of the Gods, which was intended to surmount a second but uncompleted version of the monument to Victor Hugo commissioned in 1891. The head, limbs and torso, however, were originally completely separate, pre-existing elements. The fusion of these separately conceived pieces disturbs the equilibrium of the sculpture and creates a sense of dynamic unease.

The head exists in an enlarged form in the Musée Rodin, with the title of Large Head for Iris, though it was also called Head of Demeter. A cast of the enlarged version was also given to the V&A as part of Rodin's 1914 gift (See Head of Iris, Museum no. A.41-1914).

Auguste Rodin当时的生活

完整生平
  1. 1889

    Rodin and Monet at the Georges Petit gallery

    “The Burghers of Calais” was the main event of a joint exhibition of Rodin and Claude Monet: thirty-six sculptures by Rodin and seventy paintings by Monet.

  2. 1890

    Vice-president of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts

    When the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts was revived in 1890, Rodin became its vice-president.

  3. 1890s–1900s

    Young sculptors in Rodin's studio

    His income let him hire gifted young sculptors, among them Antoine Bourdelle, Charles Despiau, Jules Desbois, François Pompon and Aristide Maillol. Constantin Brancusi left after two months, convinced that nothing grows under a big tree.

  4. 1891

    Commission for the Balzac monument

    The Société des Gens de Lettres, largely through the personal efforts of its president, Émile Zola, commissioned a monument to Balzac to be delivered in two years. Rodin pictured a massive standing figure with a large head and a body hidden in drapery, but he missed the deadline.

    Chicago: nudes behind a drape

    Through the curator Sarah Hallowell, Rodin sent “Cupid and Psyche”, “Sphinx” and “Andromeda” to the Chicago World's Fair; the nudes caused such controversy that they were hidden behind a drape, with special permission needed to see them. Even so, the financier Charles Yerkes bought two large marbles and was probably the first American to own a Rodin.
