Paul Gsell visited Auguste Rodin at his home at Meudon and in his studios and recorded the sculptor’s thoughts on his craft. Rodin explains why everything in nature is beautiful to the artist, how modelling and drawing work, how sculpture suggests movement, and what he learned from the old masters, with memories such as trying to model Victor Hugo as he moved about his drawing room.
