Items related to Rodin and America: Influence and Adapatation, 1876-1936
Language: English - 372 pages - color illustrations - English Edition - Dalla fine del XIX secolo fino alla sua morte nel 1917, lo scultore francese Auguste Rodin fu probabilmente l'artista più famoso nel mondo occidentale. Celebrato in numerose esposizioni in Europa, ottenne il favore dei governanti, degli aristocratici, dei politici, degli uomini d'affari e delle celebrità, da Buenos Aires a Praga. La sua personale notorietà lo rese oggetto di ammirazione ed emulazione, e per decenni esercitò una profonda influenza nell'arte americana, grazie soprattutto all'interessamento di mecenati come Sarah Hallowell e Isabella Stewart Gardner. Pubblicato in occasione di una grande mostra al Cantor Arts Center dell'Università di Stanford, questo importante studio dedicato all'influenza di Rodin in America annovera sculture e acquarelli di grande qualità, molto ammirati dai giovani artisti americani. Ma l'attenzione del volume è anche rivolta al lavoro di scultori americani, come Malvina Hoffman e Lorado Taft, e di artisti che lavorano sulle due dimensioni, come il fotografo Edward Steichen e la pittrice Georgia O'Keeffe, che offrono un chiaro esempio dell'influenza di Rodin e delle successive tendenze artistiche che ne decretarono il superamento. In quasi 400 pagine, Rodin in America offre dunque un'accurata disamina di un aspetto poco conosciuto dell'arte americana, e dà risalto al prezioso contributo di Rodin come scultore.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. From the end of the nineteenth century until his death in 1917, the French sculptor Auguste Rodin was arguably the most famous artist in the western world. Celebrated in endless exhibitions throughout Europe, he enjoyed the patronage of governments, as well as aristocrats, businessmen, politicians and celebrities from Buenos Aires to Prague. His personal notoriety made him a focus of adulation and emulation, and for decades he exerted a profound influence on American art, particularly through the efforts of patrons such as Sarah Hallowell and Isabella Stewart Gardner. Published on the occasion of a major exhibition at Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University, this massive assessment of Rodin's impact in America includes sculptures and watercolors by Rodin that illuminate the qualities in his art most admired by young American artists. But the volume's primary focus is upon works by American sculptors such as Malvina Hoffman and Lorado Taft, as well as by American artists working in two dimensions, such as the photographer Edward Steichen and the painter Georgia O'Keeffe, who most clearly exemplify Rodin's influence and its eventual decline as other modernist fashions eclipsed him. At nearly 500 pages, 'Rodin in America' thoroughly excavates a hidden strain in American art and provides a long overdue reminder of Rodin's prodigious gifts as a sculptor. Seller Inventory # 79625
