While anchoring his practice in the traditions of antiquity and the
Renaissance, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) paved the way for modern
sculpture. From a very early stage, he was interested in movement,
the expression of the body, chance effects, and the incomplete
fragment. It was these elements that gave shape, and the impression
of life, to such famous works as The Kiss and The Thinker. Produced
in collaboration with the Musee Rodin, this TASCHEN Basic Art
introduction examines the formative years of Rodin's training as
well as the key stages of his subsequent career. It retraces the
genesis of his sculptures and monuments from both a historical and
an aesthetic point of view and illuminates the links between his
different works. The reader gains access to the artist's ideas, as
well as to the real material processes in his studio-the modeling
in clay, the passage from plaster to bronze or to marble,
enlargement, the creation of assemblages, and his deeply sensual
erotic drawings. An inexhaustible source of inspiration for
subsequent generations of artists, Rodin's work incorporated
innovation and transgression, but above all an unrivaled passion
for working in front of the living model and for capturing the
truth of human experience and forms. With rich illustration and
texts from Francois Blanchetiere, this book invites us to
discover-and rediscover-this priceless legacy. About the series
