About the Exhibition

Recognized as one of the greatest sculptors since the Renaissance, Auguste Rodin pioneered an approach to his art that aimed not only to capture the physicality of his subjects but also their psychology. Featuring over 100 works of art, True Nature: Rodin and the Age of Impressionism delves into the Classical influences on Rodin’s marble and bronze sculptures, the artist’s focus on portraiture, and his exploration of movement and the human body. Additionally, this exhibition contextualizes Rodin’s works by showcasing them alongside sculptures and paintings by his contemporary Impressionists, including Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Edgar Degas, and Paul Cézanne.  

True Nature: Rodin and the Age of Impressionism was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The exhibition is on view at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art June 17-October 22, 2023. Click here to learn more about the exhibition and explore related programming.

Artist Auguste Rodin's "The Gates of Hell" illustrates many tormenting emotions.  "The Fallen Caryatid with Urn" sculpture depicts a woman folding into herself while bearing the weight of a vessel on her shoulder. She does not seem to be burdened by the vessel but rather resigned to its placement; her resting eyes suggesting melancholy or sadness rather than anguish. The term "caryatid" refers to sculptures of female figures that function as supportive columns, often found in ancient Greek architecture. The work was originally titled "Sorrow" and was intended for "The Gates of Hell."  Visit "True Nature: Rodin and the Age of Impressionism" before it closes on October 22! Go to okcmoa.com/buytickets
