Anton Hiller was a Bavarian sculptor and painter. He grew up in a Catholic farming family in Sigmaringendorf, Hohenzollern. Hiller then studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich under Hermann Hahn (1868–1945), graduating in 1923 and worked later as a freelance sculptor in Munich from 1923, executing commissions for the Bavarian State Gallery and the Municipal Gallery.
From 1946 to 1961, Hiller served as a professor of sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, becoming one of the leading representatives of the Munich School of Sculpture in the third quarter of the 20th century. Hiller was a member of the German Artists' Association from 1952 to 1960.
François Auguste René Rodin was a French sculptor, generally considered the founder of modern sculpture. He was schooled traditionally and took a craftsman-like approach to his work. Rodin possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, and deeply pocketed surface in clay. He is known for such sculptures as The Thinker, Monument to Balzac, The Kiss, The Burghers of Calais, and The Gates of Hell.
Many of Rodin's most notable sculptures were criticized, as they clashed with predominant figurative sculpture traditions in which works were decorative, formulaic, or highly thematic. Rodin's most original work departed from traditional themes of mythology and allegory. He modeled the human body with naturalism, and his sculptures celebrate individual character and physicality. Although Rodin was sensitive to the controversy surrounding his work, he refused to change his style, and his continued output brought increasing favor from the government and the artistic community.
