Portrait of Auguste Rodin with the Thinker
Photo by Edward Jean Steichen, 1902
Here's a link to the photo at the California State WorldImage Kiosk courtesy of New York Museum of Modern Art, and a part of the California State University IMAGE Project..
Photographed in 1902 by Edward Steichen, this image shows Auguste Rodin alongside the Thinker, offering a rare glimpse of this artist and artwork in close conversation. Even without full context, the worn print feels intimate - capturing the quiet intensity of creation and the uncanny moment when a sculptor shares space with the very ideas he’s carved into form.
