Portrait of Gustav Mahler by Rodin in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2008

Portrait of Gustav Mahler by Rodin in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2008
Auguste Rodin. French, 1840-1917

Gustav Mahler
1909
Bronze

Accession # 1993.363.73

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.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
