The Bust of Auguste Rodin is a totemic portrait originally moulded in clay in 1909 by the French artist Antoine Bourdelle. The artist's teacher and associate, Auguste Rodin, is portrayed as a sacred icon with the visage and horns of Michelangelo's Moses.^[1] A bronze cast of a modified version was displayed in the 1910 Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux–Arts on the Champ de Mars along with his Hercules the Archer.^[2]^[3]
