AUGUSTE RODIN. Nijinsky

Nijinsky. Artist: Auguste Rodin (French, Paris 1840-1917 Meudon). Culture: French. Dimensions: Overall (without base): 6 3/4 × 2 7/8 × 2 5/8 in. (17.1 × 7.3 × 6.7 cm); Height (with base): 9 3/4 in. (24.8 cm). Date: modeled 1912, cast 1959. On May 29, 1912, Rodin attended the premiere of Vaslav Nijinsky's modern ballet L'Après-midi d'un faune (Afternoon of a Faun), which scandalized Parisian audiences with its avant-garde choreography and sexually explicit content. The following morning, a front-page newspaper editorial signed by Rodin praised the "deliberately awkward" and "jerky" movement. Nijinsky posed for Rodin a few days later. The strong profile of this sculpted sketch pays tribute to his choreographic style, which mimicked Greek bas-relief sculpture.
