Les Bourgeois de Calais de Rodin.

  Les Bourgeois de Calais est un groupe statuaire d'Auguste Rodin, une de ses œuvres les plus célèbres. Cette œuvre représente six personnages1 (Eustache de Saint Pierre, Jacques et Pierre de Wissant, Jean de Fiennes, Andrieu d'Andres et Jean d'Aire), victimes d'un rituel de reddition imposé par le roi d'Angleterre ; épisode de la guerre de Cent Ans, le siège de Calais eut lieu de 1346-1347 durant la chevauchée d’Édouard III,

The Making of Rodin

The EY Exhibition, Tate Modern

From the Press Release: This exhibition is the first to focus on the importance of plaster in his work. Although Rodin is best known for his bronze and marble sculptures, he himself worked as a modeller, who captured movement, light and volume in pliable materials such as clay and plaster. This presentation evokes the atmosphere of the artist’s studio. Plasters casts in all sizes show how he continually experimented with fragmentation, repetition and joining existing parts in unconventional ways.

SET FOUR - ROUND ONE - MATCH FIVE

"Heroic Head of Pierre de Wissant, One of the Burghers of Calais" (1886- Auguste Rodin) / "The Weather" (exhibited September 24, 2021 – August 7, 2022 - Laurie Anderson)

HEROIC HEAD OF PIERRE DE WISSANT, ONE OF THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS: He is also part of larger piece but it is his facial expression first and his person second which get to me (@rhytons)

THE WEATHER: This is the Laurie Anderson room at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. I think it used to be part of a larger exhibit but I only saw it recently and by then it was this one room. It’s hard to describe without being there — this huge black room covered in white paint. Drawings, words, on the walls and the floor. I kid you not, walking into that room felt like walking directly into my brain. The fragmentation, the poetry of it, it’s so crowded, bursting with cognition. Remembrances and stray ideas fly around this place and I stayed there for an hour plus, reading everything and looking at everything and sitting in the corner. It made me so insane I went home and wrote an entire prose poem about it. (@green-cargaytions)

("Heroic Head of Pierre de Wissant, One of the Burghers of Calais" is a plaster sculpture by Auguste Rodin. It measures 85.1 x 61 x 50.8 cm (33 1/2 x 24 x 20 in and is located in the Cleveland Museum of Art. There are various different versions of this sculpture made by Rodin.

"The Weather" is an audiovisual exhibition by American artist Laurie Anderson. It was exhibited at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC from September 24, 2021 – August 7, 2022, where it spanned the second floor.)

Heroic Head of Pierre de Wissant, One of the Burghers of Calais, Auguste Rodin , 1886, Cleveland Museum of Art: Modern European Painting and Sculpture

This sculpture depicts one of the figures in Rodin’s large public monument The Burghers of Calais (1884–89), featuring six French men who volunteered to be taken prisoner by the English in exchange for lifting the siege of Calais during the Hundred Years War (1337–1453). Pierre de Wissant’s anguished expression suggests extreme mental suffering as he contemplates his expected execution. Rodin exhibited a life-size version of the figure as an independent work before completing the monument. He later made multiple versions in various sizes and media. This plaster features a highly expressive, hand-worked surface inscribed in places with graphite and covered with delicate, tinted washes. Size: Overall: 85.1 x 61 x 50.8 cm (33 1/2 x 24 x 20 in.) Medium: plaster

“The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live.” ~ Auguste Rodin [Heroic Head of Pierre de Wissant, One of the Burghers of Calais 1886. Auguste Rodin]

• In a career that spanned the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Auguste Rodin (French, 1840–1917) was deeply inspired by tradition yet rebelled against its idealized forms, introducing innovative practices that paved the way for modern sculpture. He believed that art should be true to nature, a philosophy that shaped his attitudes to models and materials. More: http://www.rodinmuseum.org/collections/collectiontheme/6.html 

• Rodin closely followed the account of the French chronicler Jean Froissart (1333 or 1337–after 1400) stating that six of the principal citizens of Calais were ordered to come out of the besieged city with heads and feet bare, ropes around their necks, and the keys of the town and the castle in their hands. They were brought before the English king Edward III (1312–1377), who ordered their beheading. More: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/207812
