This classic exploration of erotic themes in Rodin's sculptures and drawings offers stunning visual and textual insight into the artist's work and ideas. More than 350 superbly reproduced images of selected sculptures and late drawings by Rodin document his obsession with sexuality, revealing the countless ways he depicted the subject: as a threat and challenge, but also as the source of all creative inspiration and passion. Augmenting these illustrations, ten essays by leading scholars explore the ramifications of Eros in Rodin's work, including such topics as the nature of the fragment, Rodin's relationship to the model, his religiosity, and his influence on his contemporaries as well as on future artists. In word and image, this volume deepens our understanding of the nineteenth century's premier sculptor.
