Rodin Works: vases: The Night, Vase of the Titans, Saigon Vase |
The new director, Charles Lauth, disapproved of Rodin's work and ordered to throw one of his first two vases away. But the other vase, titled 'L´Elements', attracted such positive public attention that Lauth wass forced to give it a worthy place in the Sèvres Museum.
The base of 'Vase of the Titans' shows how Rodin experimented with different poses of sitting male characters; these Titans can be considered as studies for his famous sculpture 'The Thinker'.
The 'Saigon Vase' shows a kneeling female character, elbows bent upwards, that we recognize again in 'The Kneeling Fauness'.
