"Auguste Rodin: Drawings & Watercolours presents an extensive panorama of Rodin's graphic work, from the 'black drawings' contemporaneous with the Gate of Hell to his great watercolour nudes. It reproduces hundreds of the most beautiful drawings held in the collection at the Musee Rodin, a considerable number of which are published here for the first time. Two in-depth essays analyse this body of work, one studying the complex relationships between Rodin's drawings and sculptures, the other the problems of attribution and the role of sensuality in his work. Rodin's rich graphic oeuvre has until now been a little-known aspect of his art, yet is crucial to a full understanding of the great sculptor's work. This book will be essential reading for Rodin's many admirer's everywhere."--Jacket.
