DESCRIPTION:
His most original works departed from traditional themes of mythology and allegory, and embraced the human body, celebrating individualism and physicality. This book uncovers the life and career of this highly acclaimed artist by exploring his most famous works of art, such as the Gates of Hell, The Thinker and the infamous The Kiss.. Influenced by the masters of Antiquity, the genius of Michelangelo and Baroque sculpture, particularly of Bernini, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) is one of the most renown
a great book. just the name Rainer Maria Rilke is enough for anyone interested in Rodin to understand why this book is interesting enough.i give it 5 stars because i have read it and because it is what it is, a great book.. Robin sculptures measured in centimeters smaller than wished. Joseph Donigian I have seen at the Baltimore Museum of Art in Baltimore amongst the Matisse paintings of the Cone sisters I saw a six foot figure of "The Thinker". Over life size.. "Five Stars" according to Charles. Rilke knew him.
