François-Auguste-René Rodin (12 November 1840 – 17 November 1917), known as Auguste Rodin ( pron.: / oʊ ˈ ɡ uː s t r oʊ ˈ d æ n / oh- GOOST roh- DAN ; French: [oɡyst ʁɔdɛ̃] ), was a French sculptor . Although Rodin is generally considered the progenitor of modern sculpture, [ 1 ] he did not set out to rebel against the past. He was schooled traditionally, took a craftsman-like approach to his work, and desired academic recognition, [ 2 ] although he was never accepted into Paris's foremost school of art. Sculpturally, Rodin possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, deeply pocketed surface in clay .
