«Rodin, El cuerpo desnudo» is the catalogue of the exhibition of sculptures and drawings by Auguste Rodin, published by Fundación Mapfre in hardback (319 pages).
The catalogue documents the exhibition held in 2008 and brings together 33 sculptures and 90 drawings by Auguste Rodin. Essays by various specialists show how his work on the nude rebels against the classical tradition: bodies marked by flesh and surface that express desire and erotic tension. Includes chronology and biography of the artist.
Catalogue of the exhibition «Rodin, el cuerpo desnudo», held from 13 May to 6 July 2008 at Fundación Mapfre. First edition.
For those interested in sculpture, in the work of Auguste Rodin and in the representation of the nude in 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.
