Large Head of Iris, Cast 1967 (Musee Rodin 4/12)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating bronze sculpture created by the renowned French artist, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917). This masterpiece, a part of Rodin's extensive body of work from the 20th century, specifically the 1960s, is a testament to his unparalleled artistic vision and mastery of the human form. The sculpture depicts the enlarged and intricately detailed head of Iris, the Greek goddess of the rainbow, messenger of the gods, and personification of the rainbow. Rodin's interpretation of Iris is both powerful and evocative, with her intense gaze and expressive features that seem to convey a deep sense of emotion and thought. The Large Head of Iris is a prime example of Rodin's innovative approach to sculpture, which challenged traditional techniques and conventions. The use of bronze in this piece adds an element of richness and depth, enhancing the textures and details of the sculpture. This particular cast of the Large Head of Iris is housed at Musee Rodin in Paris, France, a museum dedicated to showcasing the artist's works. However, this magnificent piece has also found a home at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), allowing art enthusiasts in the United States to experience the beauty and significance of this European masterpiece. Rodin's Large Head of Iris is a timeless work of art that continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists, standing as a testament to the enduring power of art to transcend borders and connect people across continents and centuries. Whether viewed in Paris or Los Angeles, this sculpture remains a powerful reminder of the rich artistic heritage that we all share.
