It also clarifies, as never before, the taxing issue of what makes a Rodin "original." He did not work like a modern artist. He seldom carved his own marbles, never cast his bronzes, and turned his models over to assistants so that they could be done in a gamut of sizes. Paperweight to Large Economy Monument. Yet his artistic control remained absolute...
