Description

This is a comprehensive catalogue raisonne of the 455 bronzes by Auguste Rodin held in the collection of the Musee Rodin, Paris. Each entry has been researched in depth and appears alphabetically according to its original title. Inventory numbers are listed followed by a technical description: the type of cast and the metal founder. Provenance and history are given along with a mention of successive editions and other known casts in international collections. A thorough commentary explaining the creation and evolution of the sculpture is provided for each piece. The catalogue is prefaced by four essays on themes that have not been traditionally considered. The relationship between Rodin and the founders follows the introduction. Crucial to this project was the support of the Gerald B. Cantor Foundation, which owns 750 works by Rodin including letters and prints and drawings executed by the sculptor. Ruth Butler explores the close contact and mutual assistance between the Foundation and the Musee Rodin. In an unusual approach to the study of Rodin, Regis Cusinberche looks at the laws and jurisprudence governing bronze casts and the rights of the sculptor's estate. There are over 1000 illustrations, many of which show work not previously published. The only other comparative catalogue was published in 1976. These volumes are set to surpass this out-of-date work as well as highlighting original angles on Rodin's output. They are thorough, accessible volumes which will prove to be invaluable tools for scholars.
