Rodin’s perseverance, “demonizing” his father’s Rodin


At the age of 14, Rodin entered the French Royal School of Painting and Mathematics to study painting, and studied under the famous realistic painter Olas Lecock.

At the beginning, Rodin would only be a copy, not good at observation. One day, when he was worried about a piece of white paper, Lecock came over: "If you can't observe the painting for a while, then draw what you are familiar with first."

Luo Dan suddenly woke up, picked up a pencil and began to draw some lines on the paper. At the same time, his mind appeared to be disobedient, his father was angry when he was angry - biting his teeth, glaring, facial smash... Rodin quickly painted it on paper.

"Who is this?" Looking at Rodin's painting, Lecock asked. "My father!" Rodin blurted out.

"Have you painted your father so ugly?" Lecock said with amazement, "Is that in reality, is that true?"

"Yes, when he was angry, that's it!" Rodin responded.

"Mr. Rodin, you painted it really is not bad, but you are so ugly, even insulting your father, don't you feel excessive?" Lecock said angrily. "A person who does not even respect his father is hard to grow up." !"

Listening to the teacher said that Rodin was a little flustered, but he still said: "But this is the real father in my eyes. Even if you don't like it, I have to paint like this." After that, Rodin stood up and did it. Prepared to be driven out by the teacher.

Lecock was moved to tears with tears - he had seen too many young and promising artists, but because of the dogma of the school, he abandoned his true self and turned to the masterpieces of some beautiful art. It seems that the respect for the predecessors is actually the "assassination" of art and oneself, and the younger Luo Dan can be faithful to his own heart, and for this reason he is not afraid of strength, this kind of courage is really difficult to pick. One!

Since then, Lecock began to like Luo Dan who would not lie, would not flatter his predecessors, and taught his life all selflessly to Rodin, so that Rodin’s “Maxima” could fly in the future. .

For a true art worker, but they have seen it with their own eyes, the feelings of personal experience are all beautiful, vital, only those who are false, dead and ugly, Rodin won the Boleler with his own insistence. Selfless love and cultivation.
