   Book Review


From Library Journal
"His art showed a radical absence of decorum," states Lampert in this combined monograph and catalog of a recent exhibit of Auguste Rodin's sculpture and drawings at the Hayward Gallery, London. Generally acknowledged the foremost sculptor of the 19th century, Rodin had enormous influence on all who followed him. Lampert, who considers some of the artist's line drawings and gouaches to be among the "finest and most quintessentially sculptural works on paper ever made," here concentrates on the "cross-fertilization between his drawing and sculpture." The book includes informative data on the 270 entries in the show. There are 400 illustrations, including some photographs never before reproduced. An enlightening one-page article on Rodin and photography ends the catalog. Required reading for Rodin specialists. Gloria K. Rensch, formerly with Vigo Cty.
