Abstract

"Auguste Rodin: Drawings & Watercolours presents an extensive panorama of Rodin's graphic work, from the 'black drawings' contemporaneous with the Gate of Hell to his great watercolour nudes. It reproduces hundreds of the most beautiful drawings held in the collection at the Musee Rodin, a considerable number of which are published here for the first time. Two in-depth essays analyse this body of work, one studying the complex relationships between Rodin's drawings and sculptures, the other 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 is crucial to a full understanding of the great sculptor's work. This book will be essential reading for Rodin's many admirer's everywhere."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract

Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) was a radical sculptor whose unorthodox approach to multiplication, assemblage, industrial production and serial repetition challenged classical sculptural traditions and provided a definitive break in the history of art. Although best known for his bronze and marble sculptures, Rodin's genius was as a modeller, who captured movement, emotion, light and volume in pliable materials such as clay and plaster. Unlike his predecessors, his works include traces of their creation, challenging traditional conceptions of beauty. In line with new thinking on Rodin, this beautifully illustrated book focuses on the artist's use of plaster, a material which enabled him to create sculptures that are never finished, always becoming. United by their whiteness, fragile and experimental pieces will be explored alongside alternative aspects of some of Rodin's signature works. Including an exclusive contribution from sculptor Phyllida Barlow, newly commissioned texts will shed light on Rodin's way of working, the importance of modelling, his use of materiality and sexuality, and the role of photography in his work. For the first time, Rodin will be presented as the father of modern. Exhibition: Tate Modern, London, UK (21.10.2020 - 21.02.2021).
