Synopsis:

Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) is one of the best -known and most highly acclaimed sculptors of all time. His works particularly "The Kiss" and "The Thinker" are known throughout the world. The grace and beauty evident in such pieces brought his sculptures onto a par with some of the most esteemed paintings of the day, by artists such as Cezanne and van Gough, and helped to ensure that sculpture was considered an equally valid artistc medium. The Little Book of Rodin, published in association with the Musee Rodin in Paris, and written by a curator at the museum provides - through an accessible introductory essay followed by handy A-Z bite-size entries - a detailed look at the life and works of this most influential of artists.
