«Auguste Rodin: Erotische Aquarelle» is the book of erotic watercolours by Auguste Rodin, with text by Anne-Marie Bonnet; paperback, 159 pages, in German.
The book brings together a selection of Auguste Rodin's erotic watercolours, the most intimate side of an artist known above all for his sculpture. In these pages the human body is captured with rapid brushstrokes and soft tones, between observation from life and sensuality. A text by Anne-Marie Bonnet places these works in the context of his output.
Published by Schirmer/Mosel in 1995; includes 107 colour plates, 9 illustrations and bibliographic references (pp. 28-29).
A book for those who wish to broaden their knowledge of Rodin's work beyond sculpture and explore the erotic nude in late nineteenth-century art.
François Auguste René Rodin was a French sculptor generally considered the founder of modern sculpture. He was schooled traditionally and took a craftsman-like approach to his work. Rodin possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, and deeply pocketed surface in clay. He is known for such sculptures as The Thinker, Monument to Balzac, The Kiss, The Burghers of Calais, and The Gates of Hell.
