Description:

"Auguste Rodin" by Robert Descharnes - 1st EDITION Hardcover (10-1/4" x 12") - Published in 1967 by The Viking Press - 283 pages (with hundreds of color, toned, and black & white photos of Rodin's life and his work printed on heavy stock) - Good-very good condition.  Published to mark the 50th anniversary of the sculptor's death, this book tells his full life story and covers all phases of Rodin’s work including assessing his importance as an artist, with numerous tipped-in plates, including color photographs and facsimile letters revealing the great power and beauty of his art. This massive volume also includes little-known paintings, drawings, and etchings by Rodin.  Hundreds of color, toned, and black & white photos commemorate his life and his works.  The color and toned photos are all tipped-in, which means they were not part of the printing process.  They were printed separately and tipped in (partially glued in and can be lifted from the page) after the book was printed.  This is a common practice for fine art books such as this. No collection of Rodin items is complete without this book. 

This book by Robert Descharnes and Jean-Francois Chabrun is a fascinating insight into the life and works of the great Auguste Rodin. It includes rare photographs and text that delves deep into the inspiration and creative process of this iconic sculptor. Whether you're a lover of art, a student of history, or simply looking for a beautiful addition to your book collection, this is a must-have item.

Printed in Switzerland.

Color plates are pasted into the book.

No dust jacket. Extra large hardcover cloth binding.

Many gorgeous full-color and black and black-and-white photos and color plates of Rodin's sculptures and artwork, letters he wrote, chronology of his life, index, and much more
