Auguste Rodin The Kiss – The Couples
22nd September 2006 – 7th January 2007
The starting point for this exhibition is Rodin’s major work
The Kiss, which can be seen as a symbol, literally an icon,
representing physical, sensual love. Rodin’s popular image is

concept of the couple is examined in depth. It seems that Rodin’s
relationship with women as muses and sources of inspiration

the couple as such is examined not only on an iconographic level
(the richness and development in the variations of the motif),
