About the book
Summary:"Auguste Rodin rose from humble origins to become one of the most influential sculptors of all time. Regarded during his life as a Michelangelo of the modern age, Rodin mirrored the multiple facets of the human condition through the lifelike quality of the figures he portrayed, and challenged existing notions of form by considering details as finished works in a variety of different media. The indisputable influence of such masterpieces as The Thinker, Eternal Idol, The Kiss and The Burghers of Calais still reverberates today, almost one hundred years after Rodin's death." "In 1996 Jennifer Gough-Cooper's interest in photography was sparked by a chance visit to the Musee Rodin in Paris. There, in spacious rooms with high ceilings, Rodin's sculpture inhabits its own environment; light streams in from grand windows, breathing life into the stone. Jennifer Gough-Cooper's photographs capture qualities in the sculpture that are often not immediately apparent, revealing soft impressionist forms with a painterly quality."--Jacket
