Official synopsis Publisher
From Barnes & Noble: Auguste Rodin’s vision of a new sensuality in sculpture began with a trip to Florence. Michelangelo’s warm, fluid style encouraged him to break with the Greek tradition that pervaded the sculpture studios of Paris in the late 19th century. Though his work was stunning in its universality and emotional range, Rodin was initially shunned by the bitter French art establishment. Rodin: The Shape of Genius pays special attention to the relationships that shaped the artist’s life and to the profound changes he brought about in sculpture.
