Product Description
From Library Journal
"His art showed a radical absence of decorum," states Lampert in this combined monograph and catalog of a recent exhibit of Auguste Rodin's sculpture and drawings at the Hayward Gallery, London. Generally acknowledged the foremost sculptor of the 19th century, Rodin had enormous influence on all who followed him. Lampert, who considers some of the artist's line drawings and gouaches to be among the "finest and most quintessentially sculptural works on paper ever made," here concentrates on the "cross-fertilization between his drawing and sculpture." The book includes informative data on the 270 entries in the show. There are 400 illustrations, including some photographs never before reproduced. An enlightening one-page article on Rodin and photography ends the catalog. Required reading for Rodin specialists. Gloria K. Rensch, formerly with Vigo Cty. P.L., Terre Haute, Ind.

CAMILLE,
By Neville E. Hale "the Rodin Quest" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rodin: Sculpture and Drawings (Paperback)
As a Rodin researcher, I find Catharine Lampert's book extremely useful as a reference. It is very insightful in providing three-dimensional characterization, particularly to Camille Claudel who played such an important part in influencing Rodin's style in the 1880's, serving both as a detailer (hands and feet) of his own works, a model and his lover while continuing to become a better and better sculptor in her own right. The book is a beautiful publication worthy of coffee-table display. The lure of the coffee table, however should be balanced by the posible reactions of those who may flip it open towards the end. Here one finds many of his drawings. Wonderful though they and his style are in the drafting field, there are quite a number of sketches that are also extremely explicit . I would not want my grandchildren to be 'hit' by these. Buy the book by all means but be forewarned to display, or not display, according to the company that surround your coffee table. Neville Hale, author "The Rodin Quest" listed by Amazon.

"All right, Ben. Attend me.",
By G Smith "stupid middle age white guy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rodin: Sculpture and Drawings (Paperback)
"Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl that she used to be. But a great artist-a master-and that is what Auguste Rodin was-can look at an old woman, protray her exactly as she is...and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be...and more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo, or even you, see that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply prisoned inside her ruined body. He can make you feel the quiet, endless tragedy that there was never a girl born who ever grew older than eighteen in her heart...no matter what the merciless hours have done to her. Look at her, Ben. Growing old doesn't matter to you and me; we were never meant to be admired-but it does to them."-Robert A. Heinlein "Stranger in a Strange Land" |
