Our Name
Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) is widely recognized as the father of modern sculpture. Departing from traditional sculptural style that portrayed the human body as idealized or decorative, Rodin pursued a physical realism in his work. He was a keen observer of his models, seeking to reproduce each individual’s physicality. So astute are his observations, that his sculptures capture the dependence of vein prominence on the position of the arm relative to the heart. The principles that underlie this phenomenon, venous compliance and transmural pressure, are the same used in our technology today. Our name is inspired by Rodin’s commitment to observation, and the belief that careful observation can inform and ultimately transform.
