Download or read book Auguste Rodin Drawings and Watercolors written by Auguste Rodin and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 1985 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exceptional publication includes nearly 200 works, the majority of which come from the Musée Rodin in Paris. Well-produced and meticulously documented, the catalogue entries are further illuminated by scores of photographs of Rodin's celebrated sculptures (including such masterworks as the "Balzac" -- in Steichen's celebrated photograph -- the headless "Striding Man", and the disturbingly powerful "Gates of Hell") of the sculptor himself throughout his career, and many of the important personalities with whom he was intimate, such as Rainer Maria Rilke, and Count Harry Kessler. Of special interest are comparative photographs of the actual structures that accompany the famous drawings of the French cathedrals. The catalogue entries of impeccable scholarship are here interwoven with the illustrations to create a stimulating biography of a master sculptor and an unique human being. -- From publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nouvelle edition de cet ouvrage a petit prix avec nouvelle couverture (nouvelle illustration + titre plus lisible) a l occasion de l exposition Auguste Rodin au Grand Palais du 20 mars au 31 juillet 2017. - Mes moyens naturels sont la terre et le crayon. - - J ai dessine toute ma vie, j ai commence toute ma vie en dessinant; je n ai jamais cesse de dessiner. - Ces phrases d allure si anodine sont pourtant des cles pour comprendre l oeuvre de cet immense sculpteur pour qui le dessin a tant compte tout en restant un aspect de son travail inconnu du grand public. Le premier, il a deliberement travaille sur les problemes formels avant de faire intervenir le sens. Libre de combiner, d assembler et de varier a l infini, Rodin a ouvert la voie a toutes les audaces du XX siecle. Cette place naturelle du dessin dans son oeuvre se traduit par plus de 7 000 dessins repertories et conserves au musee Rodin et dans d autres collections, qui forment comme le recit de la quete passionnee d une forme juste, exacte, vibrante. Des dessins - noirs - contemporains de La Porte de l Enfer aux grands nus aquarelles, cet ouvrage offre un large panorama de son travail. En reproduisant 350 des plus beaux dessins de la collection du musee Rodin et des collections etrangeres les plus importantes, dont un nombre considerable d inedits, il a l ambition de donner au public une idee aussi complete que possible d une oeuvre graphique riche et souvent somptueuse. Une large etude retrace les differentes etapes de cette recherche, que viennent completer deux essais de fond: l un etudie les relations complexes entre les dessins et la sculpture chez Rodin, l autre les problemes de l attribution et des deplacements de sens dans son oeuvre."

Book excerpt: Auguste Rodin's extraordinary watercolors are generally less familiar to the public than his grandiose bronzes which set standards for later generations of sculptors. Yet these studies, executed with apparent ease, are no less significant as works of art--indeed, their enthusiastic naturalism and openness make them almost more timeless and modern than his sculptures. In addition to preliminary watercolor studies for his 3-dimensional works, this section of Rodin's oeuvre includes a large number of erotic silhouettes, some of them quite explicit: cheerful, warm-hearted sketches with which the artist unabashedly papered the walls of his studio. This small volume presents a delightful selection of rarely-exhibited yet enchanting watercolors from the artist's estate, administered by the Musée Rodin in Paris.

Book excerpt: Hidden in a portfolio among Auguste Rodin's inventory of more than 7,000 drawings donated to the state after his death in 1917 was a collection of figure drawings and watercolors labeled Secret Museum. Scandalous at the time of their creation, and illustrated in a loose, gestural style, they depict 110 graphic nudes of women alone or with female partners displaying their most private selves. Available now for the first time, this body of work is displayed in its entirety with in-depth analysis of the role of eroticism in Rodin's art, how the work was received during the artists lifetime and what we know about the models. Startling in their modernity, the artworks provide a valuable addition to the study of this influential artist and to the history of modern art as a whole.

Book excerpt: Les dessins érotiques de Rodin sont moins connus du public que sa sculpture. Or, ils représentent, au tournant du siècle, un moment crucial de la modernité. Ce catalogue d'exposition comble cette lacune en offrant une excursion inédite dans ce que R.M. Rilke désigne comme " le point extrême " de l'œuvre de Rodin. Les 172 dessins sélectionnés sont emblématiques de l'œuvre picturale du maître, depuis les premiers dessins gouachés des années 1890 jusqu'aux grandes feuilles estompées au crayon noir des années 1910. Leur mode d'élaboration, comme dessins fantasmés du corps sexué des modèles, est emblématique de la pensée graphique de Rodin. La diversité des essais proposés permet de mieux comprendre leur infinie richesse.
