EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the profound sculpture titled "Sorrow" by renowned artist Auguste Rodin. Created in 1882, this particular cast was made between 1913 and 1923, highlighting the enduring legacy of Rodin's work. The image provides a close-up view of the sorrowful female figure with her eyes closed, conveying an overwhelming sense of grief. Rodin, a French sculptor known for his modern art contributions, expertly captures raw emotion through his use of bronze as a medium. In this piece, he skillfully sculpts the woman's head thrown back in anguish against a serene white background. The contrast between her expressive face and the minimalist setting intensifies the impact of her sorrow. The photograph invites viewers to contemplate loss and human suffering while admiring Rodin's mastery in capturing such complex emotions within static form. It serves as a testament to his ability to evoke empathy from audiences across time and place. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this artwork is part of their rich collection that celebrates painting and sculpture from Europe during the nineteenth century. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, we are reminded not only of its artistic significance but also its timeless relevance in reflecting on our own experiences with grief and loss.
