The Making of Rodin (Hardcover)

Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) was a radical sculptor whose unorthodox
approach to sculpture-making provided a definitive break in the
history of Western sculpture. Although much of his commercial
success was based on the bronze and marble versions of his work,
Rodin's greatest talent was as a modeller who captured movement,
emotion, light and volume in clay and plaster, to challenge
traditional conceptions of beauty and perfection. In line with new
thinking on Rodin, this book explores the artist's use of plaster,
a material which demonstrates his interest in creating sculptures
that are never completed, always becoming. United by their
materiality, fragile and experimental pieces are explored alongside
new readings of some of Rodin's iconic works, and a selection of
his watercolour drawings. Including an exclusive contribution from
sculptor Phyllida Barlow, The Making of Rodin sheds light on the
artist's use of materials, his unique way of working, and his
imaginative use of photography, revealing how Rodin reinvented
sculpture for the modern age - and why his work continues to
enthral and provoke to this day.
