Rodin: The Shape of GeniusYale University Press, 1. 1. 1993 - 591 strán (strany) Auguste Rodin - the most famous artist in the world at the turn of the twentieth century - led a life as sensational and intense as the great sculptures he created. In this major reinterpretation of Rodin's life and times, the Rodin scholar Ruth Butler draws for the first time on closely guarded archives and letters to disentangle the facts of this legendary artist's life from the many myths that have grown up around him. Lavishly illustrated with more than two hundred archival photographs, this book provides new interpretations of the motivations, execution, and reception of Rodin's extraordinary artistic creations. |
