Controversial homage to women
Rodin indicated that his approach to sculpting women was of homage to them and their bodies, not just submitting to men but as full partners in ardor. The consequent eroticism in the sculpture made it controversial. A bronze version of The Kiss (74 cm high) was sent for display at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. The sculpture was considered unsuitable for general display and relegated to an inner chamber with admission only by personal application.
