The great French sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) brought sculpture into the 20th-century and established a new sculptural freedom which continues to haunt artists' imaginations to this day.
Charting the career of this groundbreaking artist - with chapters by leading scholars - this book is the catalogue of a unique exhibition which draws heavily on the rich collection held at the Musée Rodin in Paris.
Generously illustrated with stunning new photography of famous works (such as The Thinker and The Kiss) - as well as many unusual and dramatic works which have never travelled outside France - the book also features photographs by Rodin's contemporaries.
