Written while Rodin was at the height of his fame and dedicated to the painter Eugène Carrière and the critic Roger Marx, this study traces the sculptor’s slow rise against official hostility. It sets out his ideas on nature, movement and the continuity of the universe, drawn from his own conversation, and surveys his major works.
A close contemporary’s view of Rodin, translated by Clementina Black, for anyone who loves modern sculpture. Download the free EPUB.
