This vintage monograph on Auguste Rodin presents a powerful selection of his most important sculptures, reproduced in dramatic black-and-white photography that captures the intensity, texture and emotional depth of his work. From The Thinker to The Kiss, the volume places Rodin’s radical approach to form and movement in a broader historical context, making it both a reference and an art object in itself.
The book is printed in a large format, allowing the photographs to show the raw surfaces, bold gestures and shadowed contours that define Rodin’s sculptural language. It’s an ideal piece for collectors, interior stylists, and anyone drawn to expressive, tactile art.
This copy is in fair–good vintage condition: the dust jacket shows visible wear, including tears and creasing along the edges, but the interior pages remain clean and intact. The wear adds an authentic patina that suits the dramatic subject matter and reinforces the book’s age and character.
Pages: 145 pages
Dimensions: 27 x 36 cm
Publication by Phaidon in 1939.
