Auguste Rodin - Filmed Sculpting in his Studio (1915)

This is unique film of the father of modern sculpture, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), working in his studio in Paris in 1915. What is particularly interesting in the various pieces of footage is seeing -- close up - the artist’s process with marble. There are four segments of film: [1] The artist walking up and down the steps of a monumental columned building, and inspecting the structure [2] Rodin posing top-hatted in a garden [3] The sculptor coming out of the then derelict C18 Hôtel Biron, which the artist used as his studio [4] Rodin sculpting in his studio Enjoy!
