The text covers all phases of the great sculptor’s work, assessing his importance as an artist and the influence of his art on the younger sculptors of his day and in the years since. Includes 90 contemporary photographs, taken under Rodin’s own direction, of the subjects of many of his portraits in poses he utilized for his sculptures (Rodin’s close circle acted as models for many of his portrayals of the great artists, poets, writers, and entertainers of his day).
