This piece of artwork is called “The Left Clenched Hand.” In 1885, it was modeled by Auguste Rodin; in addition, it was casted in 1974 by Georges Rudier. Both of these artists are French. The classification of this sculpture is sculpture-bronze. Rodin believed that hands communicated the human face. The portraits that he made of his hand sculptures represent emotions. This sculpture specifically is modeling the dramatic gesture of the hand that clenches but cannot grasp. The hand is one of Rodin’s most captivating artwork of powerless despair. I like this sculpture because of how realistic it looks and that in a way it tells multiple stories.
