Eg including this artist is superficially damaging (5)

I believe the answer is:

rodin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'eg including this artist is superficially damaging' is the definition.
'rodin' can be an answer for 'artist' (sculptor Auguste Rodin). I am unsure of the rest of the definition.

This is the entire clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rodin that I've seen before include "Kiss I'm famous for" , "Sculptor (for the thinking man!)" , "He sculpted" , "Auguste -, French sculptor" , "Sculptor of The Thinker and The Kiss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
