Gustav Mahler
Auguste Rodin
1909 · Bronze · Modern and Contemporary Art
Ascetic, sharp features give the composer an aristocratic look. Gustav Mahler (1860–1911) modeled for Rodin, though the sittings were difficult to endure for the nervous composer, who saw rest as "time wasted away from his work," as Alma Mahler remembered.
