    A Passion for Rodin Set a Manhattan Couple on an Ambitious Collecting Journey& Covering the Past Century of Art History

    dreamers creators A passion for Rodin set a Manhattan couple on an ambitious collecting journey& covering the past century of art history. By Margie Goldsmith • Photography by Billy Cunningham The collector looks up at his cast of “The Thinker.” Perhaps he is recalling what Rodin himself wrote about his sculpture: “The Thinker has a story. In the days long gone by I conceived the idea of the Gates of Hell. Before the door, seated on the rock, Dante thinking of the plan of the poem behind him ... all the characters from the Divine Comedy. This proj- ect was not realized. Thin ascetic Dante in his straight robe separated from all the rest would have been without meaning. Guided by my first inspiration I conceived another thinker, a naked man, seated on a rock, his fist against his teeth, he dreams. The fertile thought slowly elaborates itself within his brain. He is no longer a dreamer, he is a creator.” Rodin’s tale helps reveal why a boy from a small Mid- western town who became one of New York’s most suc- cessful fund managers would identify with a working-class sculptor whose masterpieces created a Rodin, “The Thinker,” conceived bronze bridge between 19th-century Romanticism and c. 1880 (this version was cast 20th-century Modernism. “I identify with the creativity and the before 1952), bronze with dark passion with which Rodin led his life,” says the collector, who brown and green patina. wishes to remain anonymous, as he continues to regard “The Charles Ephraim Burchfield, “Sultry Thinker.” “Look at the combination of strength, beauty and emo- Day” (right), 1957, watercolor on tional passion that Rodin manages to put in a lump of bronze.

Long Live the Revolutions: Fighting for France's Political Future in the Long Wake of the Commune, 1871-1880 Abstract The traumatic legacies of the Paris Commune and its harsh suppression in 1871 had a significant impact on the identities and voter outreach efforts of each of the chief political blocs of the 1870s. The political and cultural developments of this phenomenal decade, which is frequently mislabeled as calm and stable, established the Republic's longevity and set its character. Yet the Commune's legacies have never been comprehensively examined in a way that synthesizes their political and cultural effects. This dissertation offers a compelling perspective of the 1870s through qualitative and quantitative analyses of the influence of these legacies, using sources as diverse as parliamentary debates, visual media, and scribbled sedition on city walls, to explicate the decade's most important political and cultural moments, their origins, and their impact.

Cover design by Jeff Belizaire About this book This is one part of the first comprehensive study of the development of Greek sculpture and painting with the aim of enriching the usual stylistic-sociological approaches through a serious, disciplined consideration of the basic Greek scientific orientation to the world. This world view, known as the Four Elements Theory, came to specific formulation at the same time as the perfected contrapposto of Polykleitos and a concern with the four root colors in painting (Polygnotos). All these factors are found to be intimately intertwined, for, at this stage of human culture, the spheres of science and art were not so drastically differentiated as in our era. The world of the four elements involved the concepts of polarity and complementarism at every level.
  • Who's Who at the Rodin Museum

    Who's Who at the Rodin Museum

    WHO’S WHO AT THE RODIN MUSEUM Within the Rodin Museum is a large collection of bronzes and plaster studies representing an array of tremendously engaging people ranging from leading literary and political figures to the unknown French handyman whose misshapen proboscis was immortalized by the sculptor. Here is a glimpse at some of the most famous residents of the Museum… ROSE BEURET At the age of 24 Rodin met Rose Beuret, a seamstress who would become his life-long companion and the mother of his son. She was Rodin’s lover, housekeeper and studio helper, modeling for many of his works. Mignon, a particularly vivacious portrait, represents Rose at the age of 25 or 26; Mask of Mme Rodin depicts her at 40. Rose was not the only lover in Rodin's life. Some have speculated the raging expression on the face of the winged female warrior in The Call to Arms was based on Rose during a moment of jealous rage. Rose would not leave Rodin, despite his many relationships with other women. When they finally married, Rodin, 76, and Rose, 72, were both very ill. She died two weeks later of pneumonia, and Rodin passed away ten months later. The two Mignon, Auguste Rodin, 1867-68. Bronze, 15 ½ x 12 x 9 ½ “. were buried in a tomb dominated by what is probably the best The Rodin Museum, Philadelphia. known of all Rodin creations, The Thinker. The entrance to Gift of Jules E. Mastbaum. the Rodin Museum is based on their tomb. CAMILLE CLAUDEL The relationship between Rodin and sculptor Camille Claudel has been fodder for speculation and drama since the turn of the twentieth century.

RODIN From the edition of twenty five numbered 1/25 to 25/25 Cast in 1998* at the VALSUANI FOUNDRY - Paris 180 centimeters in height – 71 inches 1,440 pounds Valsuani Foundry mark Stamped 1998 and 21/25 Certification & Authorization by The Rodin Museum – Paris 1998 * Most examples of the first edition of approximately 24 bronzes were also cast posthumously, ending in 1968. Two thirds of the first edition were cast after Rodin’s death. 1 Presentation – History of the Work First conceived as the central and crowning figure of the “Gates of Hell” 1880, a monumental group of sculptures commissioned by the French government, Rodin’s impressive composition, “The Thinker” has become as an independant work, indubitably one of the most well-known and celebrated sculpture of all times. The first exhibited version in 1888 in Copenhagen, was in plaster and 71.5 cm high. Only in 1902, when some of Rodin most popular sculptures were enlarged with the help of his collaborator Henri LeBossé, a monumental version of the 'Thinker' was created. By the end of 1903 Rodin had completed the enlargement of the Thinker. This impressive plaster cast of the Great Thinker, or Monumental Thinker (More than 6 feet high and 1,400 pounds of Bronze....) was first exhibited in London in 1904. A bronze made after this plaster was exhibited in Paris that same year. On April 21 st 1906, funds were collected through public subsciption and this bronze cast in 1904 was erected in front of the Pantheon in Paris.

HORNIK uguste Rodin accepted his first major commission, The Gates of Hell, when he was forty years old. This sculpture was to be the door- Away for the École des Arts Dècoratifs in Paris. Though the muse- um of decorative arts was not built, Rodin struggled over twenty years to depict the damned as they approach the entrance into hell. He never finished. The sculpture was cast in bronze after the artist’s death, using plaster casts taken from his clay models. The Gates of Hell, like Michelangelo’s Last Judgment, lays out its mean- ing through a turbulent and multi-figured design. The identities of many figures in the composition are not immediately apparent. Instead Rodin challenges us to make sense of the whole work by dissecting its elements and recalling its artistic influences.† The Three Shades at the very top, for example, derives from Greek thought about Hades.
