This work features over 350 images of selected sculptures and late drawings by Rodin, documenting his obsession with sexuality and revealing the countless ways in which he depicted the subject: as a threat and a challenge, but also as a source of all creative inspiration and passion. Augmenting these illustrations are 10 essays by scholars which explore the ramifications of Eros in Rodin"s work, including such topics as the nature of the fragment, Rodin"s relationship to the model, his religiosity and his influence on his contemporaries as well as on future artists.
