With an essay by young American artist and critic Louis Weinberg, it presents almost 70 of Rodin's works in a beautifully designed, high-quality clothbound format that will appeal to a contemporary audience. In a career that spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Rodin rebelled against the idealized forms and practices of traditional art and paved the way for the birth of modern sculpture. The hallmarks of his style--its highly eroticized, sometimes explicit character, his use of incomplete figures, his emphasis on formal qualities rather than on narrative, and his desire to retain the marks of the sculptural process--were considered revolutionary at the time. As a result, his intense, evocative works courted controversy after controversy, inspiring violent hatred and ardent admiration in equal measure. By the end of his life, however, his reputation was established and he had become one of the most celebrated and sought-after artists in the world. $c artbook.com 600 10 $a Rodin, Auguste, $d 1840-1917 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Rodin, Auguste, $d 1840-1917. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00040794 650 0 $a Sculpture, French $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Art, French. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816279 650 7 $a Drawing, French. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00897818 650 7 $a Painting, French. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050830 650 7 $a Sculpture, French. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01109663 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Weinberg, Louis, $d 1885- $e author of introduction. 830 0 $a Modern library of the world's best books. 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210612010239.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72C97E8ACB4311EBA9DAFC9331ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
