Auguste Rodin is the only sculptor of equal rank who can be placed alongside the finest painters of his generation such as the great French painters Manet and Cézanne. While he has been considered an early Modernist among sculptors, he drew on a uniquely rich variety of artistic traditions, including those of ancient Greece, Egypt, the Far East, and the Renaissance. This classic monograph, first published in 1939, gathers together a stunning collection of photographs, all specially commissioned for this edition, that depict Rodin's masterpieces in great detail. It includes 95 black-and-white illustrations. Readers can contemplate the momentous presence of The Thinker, the powerful melancholy of The Burghers of Calais, and outstanding portrait busts of the last century.
