EDITORS COMMENTS
by Auguste Rodin is a captivating work of art from the early 20th century, specifically cast before 1917. This bronze barbdienne cast, numbered as no. 23, is a testament to Rodin's mastery of the human form and his exploration of the themes of love, eternity, and the passage of time. The sculpture depicts a naked male and female figure, their bodies entwined in an intimate embrace, locked in an eternal kiss. The female figure, with her flowing hair and graceful curves, rests her head on the muscular chest of the male figure. Their bodies merge together, creating a sense of unity and harmony. The title "Eternal Spring" suggests a timeless moment, a fleeting instant frozen in bronze. The figures seem to exist outside of the seasons, defying the natural cycle of growth and decay. This concept of eternal life and love is a common theme in Rodin's work, reflecting the artist's deep contemplation of the human condition. The sculpture is a quintessential example of Rodin's artistic style, characterized by his emphasis on naturalism and expressive forms. The figures are not idealized, but rather, they are portrayed with all the imperfections and vulnerabilities of the human body. The use of color and texture in the bronze adds depth and dimension to the work, bringing the figures to life. "Eternal Spring" is a treasure of European artistic heritage, reflecting the rich cultural history of France. It is now part of the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The sculpture is a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place, to evoke emotions and provoke thought.
