Auguste Rodin
An “elegant translation” of Rilke’s writings on sculptor Auguste Rodin that “offers a fresh look at an unlikely mentorship” and two extraordinary artists (The New York Times Book Review). Sculptor Auguste Rodin was fortunate to have his secretary Rainer Maria Rilke, one of the most sensitive poets of our time. These two pieces discussing Rodin’s work and development as an artist are as revealing of Rilke as they are of his subject. Written in 1902 and 1907, these essays mark the entry of the poet into the world of letters. Rilke’s description of Rodin reveals the profound psychic connection between the two great artists, both masters of giving visible life to the invisible. Michael Eastman’s evocative photographs of Rodin’s sculptures shed light on both Rodin’s art and Rilke’s thoughts and catapult them into the 21st century.
Venus
Written in 1912, "Venus" is sculptor Auguste Rodin's passionate ode to one of art's great masterpieces, the Venus de Milo, now in the Louvre Museum in Paris. This new, expanded edition of Rodin's unique text, also includes "The Dance of Shiva," Rodin's loose, written impressions of a bronze statue of the Hindu god Shiva. This is Dorothy Dudley's original, authorized English translation of "Venus" from 1912. "The Dance of Shiva" was newly translated by Tina A. Kover in 2009.

Auguste Rodin
August Rodin was one of the greatest sculptors of the nineteenth century. During his long and prolific career, he was responsible for breaking away from the conventions of French sculpture with his highly realistic and often erotic approach to the human form. With "the Kiss", "the Thinker", and "the Gates of Hell", along with hundreds of other busts, groups, and entwined figures, he discovered new and powerful effects that could be obtained from marble, bronze, sculpture, and plaster. This book explores over sixty of his finest works in beautiful color reproductions. With a comprehensive introduction and expert commentary on the place of each work within the artist's portfolio as well as in relation to the works of Rodin's contemporaries, RODIN makes an excellent tribute to this eternal master. Over 120 beautiful reproductions of Rodin's best work. Expert commentary on the meaning and relevance of Rodin's sculptures.

Delphi Complete Works of Auguste Rodin (Illustrated)
The founder of modern sculpture, Auguste Rodin was a late nineteenth century pioneer, whose work changed the course of the history of art. His greatest achievement was the restoration of the role of ancient sculpture, showing that a modern artist could capture the physical and intellectual force of a subject, while freeing the artistic medium from the repetition of traditional patterns. Rodin’s enduing popularity is often ascribed to his emotion-laden representations of ordinary men and women and his ability to find beauty and pathos. Masterpieces such as ‘The Kiss’ and ‘The Thinker’ are widely used outside the fine arts as symbols of human emotion, transcending the sculptor’s me...
