Rodin: The Man and His Art, with Leaves from His Note-book

This book presents a biographical portrait of a leading sculptor, compiled from notebooks, reminiscences, and contemporary commentary. It follows his early struggles and atelier training, showing how persistent workshop practice led to technical command and artistic direction. Notebook excerpts and essays illuminate his methods, with attention to surface modulation, treatment of light and movement, and the relationship between drawing and relief. Examples range from portrait busts and architectural ornament to experimental fragments, while contributions from friends and critics chart debates over originality and influence. Photographs and illustrations accompany the text to reveal works, studio practice, and sculptural detail.
