Cheap Auguste Rodin: The Secret Sculpture Sculpture

An artful gift .The two graceful hands in this reproduction are based on Study for the Secret (modeled probably ca. 1910, cast 1956), a sculpture in which two eloquent right hands “hold” an intangible secret. Auguste Rodin (French, 1840–1917) was preoccupied with hands as the creative, shaping force between the world of nature and the world of artistic vision—hands in his oeuvre are full of expression, power, and emotion.
