One of the greatest artists of the nineteenth century, Auguste Rodin revolutionized the art of sculpture. Often the object of great controversy, Rodin's work was a precursor of many later developments in art. From his most magnificent pieces such as The Kiss, The Thinker, and The Burghers of Calais to his most intimate studies, this dramatic portrait of the artist captures Rodin's life and greatest works, while an inriguing narrative details the inspiration for and reaction to each masterpiece. Over 105 illustrations enhance this handsome volume.

1997, A fine, unmarked copy in a near fine d/w with only light tanning of the edges of the rear panel.
