Items related to Rodin & Eros
Synopsis
The theme of the erotic is ever present in the work of Auguste Rodin, both in his sculptures and in his many drawings. Throughout his career, he depicted sexual desire in all its facets, in every mood from delicate innocence to frank intensity, bearing witness to an endless fascination with the flesh and a love of the female form. Taking a chronological path through Rodin’s life, this is an intimate approach to the many faces of sex and sensuality in his body of work and in the society within which his art was forged. The text discusses his relationships with women, his friendships with poets and artists, and the controversy that his sculptures caused in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when French society was marked by a hypocritical disparity between public morals and private desires. This witty and perceptive book, packed with beautiful images, will shed new light on this intriguing aspect of the artist’s world and his skill at capturing the fleeting nature of pleasure in timeless art.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condition: Nuevo. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. El tema de lo erótico está siempre presente en la obra de August Rodin, tanto en sus esculturas como en sus numerosos dibujos. A lo largo de su carrera, representó el deseo sexual en todas sus facetas. A través de un recorrido cronológico por la carrera de Rodin, esta publicación trata de aproximarse a las múltiples caras del sexo y la sensualidad en su obra y en la sociedad en la que se forjó su arte. Los temas tratados incluyen sus relaciones con las mujeres, sus amistades con poetas y artistas, y la controversia que sus esculturas causaron a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, cuando la sociedad francesa estaba marcada por una disparidad hipócrita entre la moral pública y los deseos privados. Este libro ingenioso y perspicaz, repleto de bellas imágenes, arrojará nueva luz sobre este intrigante aspecto del mundo del artista y su habilidad para captar la fugacidad del placer en un arte intemporal.
