Auguste Rodin

This volume presents English translations of two pieces by Rainer Maria Rilke discussing the work of Auguste Rodin. Written in 1902 and 1907, the essays explore Rodin's working habits, his understanding of the human body, and the development of his art. The volume also features an introductory essay by William Gass (author of Reading Rilke) and arresting color photographs of Rodin's sculptures. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
