Rodin's Art: The Rodin Collection of Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center of Visual Arts at Stanford University Details

Review "Outstanding.... A detailed survey of the artist's oeuvre, boasting accessible scholarship and connoisseurship of a high order. This is the most substantial of the many recent volumes on Rodin's art and a superb complement to Frederick Grunfeld's 1987 biography."--Library Journal (starred review)"The last large collection of Rodin's work created in the United States, that at Stanford University, attests to the passionate admiration for the artist that Albert Elsen shared with B. Gerald Cantor. The passion represented by the collection will from now on be inseparable from the scholarship disseminated in this catalogue which represents the culmination of a lifetime of research."--Antoinette LeNormand-Romain, chief curator of the Musee Rodin, Paris Read more About the Author The late Albert Elsen (1927-1995) was the Walter A.
