Quote: The Most Perfect Thing In the World Is Nature

"All my attention as an artist is devoted to reproducing exactly what
I see in nature. I do not endeavor to 'express something.' Those who have a pre-conceived idea an inspiration as they call it are seldom able to render their ideal. Those, on the contrary, who charm us by their talent have done nothing throughout the ages but reproduce nature. They copy as closely as ever they can the most beautiful, the most admirable, the most perfect thing in the world which is nature."

Auguste Rodin
