The Art of Rodin

Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) is a colossus in the history of art. In a career that spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Parisborn sculptor rebelled against the idealized forms and practices of traditional art and paved the way for the birth of modern sculpture. This centenary facsimile edition faithfully reproduces the pages of a 1918 volume published immediately in the wake of Rodin's death, one of the first volumes on the French sculptor in the English language. With an essay by young American artist and critic Louis Weinberg, it presents almost seventy of Rodin's works in a beautifully designed, high-quality clothbound format that will appeal to a contemporary audience. This is a perfect gift, collectible and keepsake for any Rodin enthusiast or lover of modern sculpture.
