Description

Rodin: Sculpture and Drawings, the catalogue of the exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia, presents a major overview of Rodin's work, providing new insights into his working methods, his inspiration and the histories of his most famous masterpieces. Auguste Rodin's work is instantly recognisable throughout the world and this is in no small part due to the enthusiastic collection of his work by B. Gerald and Iris Cantor. Obsessed with Rodin's masterful works, the Cantors spent five decades building up the largest private collection of Rodin sculpture, drawings and memorabilia. This book chronicles the growth of their collection, which has since been shared with over 70 museums around the world so that millions may appreciate the masterpieces of this important artist. Packed with stunning illustrations, this vital new study is completed by authoritative critical texts from leading authorities on Rodin, including an essay by Antoinette Le Normand-Roman, Curator of the Musee Rodin in Paris.

'I can only work with a model... I declare that I have no ideas when I have nothing to copy; but when nature shows me her forms, right away I find something worth saying' - Auguste Rodin
