The Man with the Broken Nose was constructed by Auguste Rodin between 1863 and 1864. This sculpture is considered by Rodin the first to represent life, as it tested the preferred aesthetic of the time. A broken nose, with strong facial features, was considered unappealing and generally, most people rejected the piece. What these people failed to see was the beauty it holds. It represents individuality, bringing in this sense of unified life. As humans, we all have unique features making us who we are; just as the Man with the Broken Nose.
