Extended data:
Rodin regards life as the highest artistic realm, and only a sculpture with life can touch the mind of the viewer. So Rodin thinks that the sculpture with life is beautiful. Beauty is not only external formal beauty, but also internal beauty. In Rodin's time, people thought that ugly things were not works of art, but Rodin strongly opposed it and expounded real beauty with his own works. Rodin believes that ugliness in art means that there is no appearance and no inner truth, and all deception is ugly.
In some of Rodin's works, he does not deliberately pursue sensual enjoyment, and thinks that deformity is also a kind of beauty. So he created many "ugly" works, such as The Old Prostitute and The Man with the Broken Nose. Rodin believes that human life is the most beautiful, and every moment from birth to death is beautiful.
