Product Description

Review

"Outstanding.... A detailed survey of the artist's oeuvre, boasting accessible scholarship and connoisseurship of a high order. This is the most substantial of the many recent volumes on Rodin's art and a superb complement to Frederick Grunfeld's 1987 biography."--Library Journal (starred review)

"The last large collection of Rodin's work created in the United States, that at Stanford University, attests to the passionate admiration for the artist that Albert Elsen shared with B. Gerald Cantor. The passion represented by the collection will from now on be inseparable from the scholarship disseminated in this catalogue which represents the culmination of a lifetime of research."--Antoinette LeNormand-Romain, chief curator of the Musee Rodin, Paris

Book Description

The late Albert Elsen was the first American scholar to study seriously the work of the French sculptor Auguste Rodin, and the person most responsible for a revival of interest in the artist as a modern innovator--after years during which the sculpture had been dismissed as so much Victorian bathos. After a fortuitous meeting with the financier, philanthropist, and art collector B. Gerald Cantor, Elsen helped Cantor build a major collection of Rodin's work. A large part of this collection, consisting of more than two hundred works, was donated to the Stanford University's museum by Mr. Cantor, who died in 1996. In size Stanford's collection is surpassed only by the Musee Rodin in Paris and rivaled only by the collection in Philadelphia. In scope the collection is unique in having been carefully selected to present a balanced view of Rodin's work throughout his life. Rodin's Art encompasses a lifetime's thoughts on Rodin's career, surveying the artist's accomplishments through the detailed discussion of each object in the collection. Its essays on the formation of the collection, the reception of Rodin's work, and his casting techniques are invaluable. The other entries, arranged topically, include extensive discussions of Rodin's major projects.
