The theme of the erotic is ever present in the work of Auguste
Rodin, both in his sculptures and in his many drawings. Throughout
his career, he depicted sexual desire in all its facets, in every
mood from delicate innocence to frank intensity, bearing witness to
an endless fascination with the flesh and a love of the female
form. Taking a chronological path through Rodin's life, this is an
intimate approach to the many faces of sex and sensuality in his
body of work and in the society within which his art was forged.
The text discusses his relationships with women, his friendships
with poets and artists, and the controversy that his sculptures
caused in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when French
society was marked by a hypocritical disparity between public
morals and private desires. This witty and perceptive book, packed
with beautiful images, will shed new light on this intriguing
aspect of the artist's world and his skill at capturing the
fleeting nature of pleasure in timeless art.
