“In order to express a movement in all its character and truth, it is important that it be at once the result of successive movements which have preceded the moment of fixity, and that it foreshadow the sensations of the movements which follow.”
Henri Charles Etienne Dujardin-Beaumetz, Entretiens avec Rodin (Rodin’s Reflections on Art), 1914. Translated by Ann McGarrell (From the collection Auguste Rodin, Readings on His Life and Works, edited by Albert Elsen, 1965.)
