Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
'I have drawn all my life. I began withdrawing: I have never stopped drawing.'—Auguste Rodin
From the 'black' drawings contemporaneous with the Gates of Hell to his great watercolour nudes, this book reproduces hundreds of Auguste Rodin's most beautiful graphic works held in the collection of the Musée Rodin, a number of which are published here for the very first time. The accompanying essays analyze the complex relationships between Rodin's drawings and his sculptures, the problems of attribution, and the role of sensuality in his work.
Rodin's rich graphic oeuvre has until now been a little-known aspect of his art, yet it is crucial to a full understanding of his work. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in the great sculptor's achievements. 372 illustrations in colour and grey and white.
