“I have, as you know, a passion for hands, which are more revealing than faces.”

— Renée Vivien, tr. by Jeanette H. Foster, from “A Woman Appeared To Me,” (via violentwavesofemotion)

Auguste Rodin

"But hands are a complicated organism, a delta into which many divergent streams of life rush together in order to pour themselves into the great storm of action. There is a history of hands; they have their own culture, their particular beauty; one concedes to them the right of their own development, their own needs, feelings, caprices and tendernesses."

—Rainer Maria Rilke, Auguste Rodin

The Hand of Rodin, 1917, Cast plaster with coat of shellac

Shortly before Rodin's death, his assistant, Paul Cruet, took a cast of his master's hand and combined it with a small female torso by Rodin. More a tribute to the great sculptor's genius than a work of art, this plaster group was a treasured possession of Rodin's most gifted American student, the New York sculptor Malvina Hoffman.
