Judith Cladel, who knew the sculptor well, follows Rodin from his humble Paris childhood and failure at the Beaux-Arts through his years in Belgium, his journeys in Italy and his long struggle for recognition. The book includes Rodin’s own reflections on Greek sculpture and Gothic cathedrals, and an introduction by the critic James Huneker.
An admiring portrait from inside Rodin’s circle, valuable for anyone interested in modern sculpture. Download the free EPUB.
