Synopsis

Rodin's stature as one of the great pioneers of art in modern times results not only from what he created - magnificent sculptures that prove him to be the only true descendant of Michelangelo - but equally from what he changed. Rodin's drama is an awesome one: the struggle of this devotee of classicism who arrested classicism in sculpture; the pain of this lover of the human body who, in his twisting, wounding, and amputating of the traditional human form, forged the enigmatic effigy of a new man.

This collection offers to the public a series of monographs on the great masters of modern art. Each volume - the work of the most qualified specialists - is illustrated by fifty-three color plates, and twenty in black and white. The clear and precise texts, backed by thorough scholarship, cover the most recent investigations into the artist and his work, and include a chronology and an up-to-date bibliography. The illustrations, which have been reproduced with extreme care, were chosen after a rigorous process of selection from the artist's entire oeuvre, and offers a complete presentation of the artist's concerns and techniques.
