Pachet Artă - Auguste Rodin (Două albume de artă + un sketchbook al artistului)

Album de artă Rodin

Arta a fost mai importantă decât orice altceva pentru fondatorul sculpturii moderne și a creat sculpturi care s-ar bucura de un renume de durată, printre care Kiss, Thinker și Burghers of Calais. Acestea, precum și numeroasele alte sculpturi, sunt reproduse aici cu fotografii de înaltă calitate, arătând întregul spectru al carierei lungi și productive a lui Rodin.

Auguste Rodin: Erotic Watercolors

With his erotic nude studies Auguste Rodin completed the artistic step towards modernity during the last two decades of his life. To a greater extent than in his sculptural oeuvre, he broke with art traditions in his pencil drawings, watercolors, and scissor cut drawings, establishing his total independence of prevalent beauty ideals and morals. His intimate paintings are characterized by expeditious strokes and the liberality of the motif. Contemporaries such as Rilke and Paul Klee immediately recognized the revolutionary artistic quality of the drawings. The price Harry Graf Kessler had to pay for exhibiting them in Weimar 1906 was high. As a result he was dismissed from his position as head of the Grand- Ducal museum. This book, a hardcover reprint of our 1995 classic, contains 105 watercolors and scissor cuts collected from museums and private collections from all over the world, including some "scandal" drawings from Weimar.

Auguste Rodin: Erotic Sketches

Designed to imitate an artist’s sketchbook, this exquisite collection of Auguste Rodin’s nude drawings is a sensuous celebration of his work.

One of the world’s most revered sculptors, Rodin spent much of his late career sketching nudes in his studio. At the time these intimate studies were considered obscene and their first public exhibition resulted in scandal. Today Rodin’s erotic work is appreciated for its great expressive power, confidence of line, and delicate colors. This collection of more than thirty color drawings offers readers the unique experience of peering over the artist’s shoulder as he works. The stunning reproductions, embossed cover and ribbon tie make this a perfect gift for lovers of art and lovers everywhere.
