Hand of God
Another of my favorite sculptures by Rodin. In this piece, Rodin shows how God moulds the human form from matter bringing the divinity into humanity from emptiness. It is also a supposed to represent a parallel symbolic image of the artist who both invents and sculpts a world from raw material.
"The Hand of God" is molding clay with the forms of Adam and Eve intermingled together, powerfully molding the matter from which two newborn creatures emerge from the divine; it is also a symbolic image of the artist who creates a world from an insipred vision.
