A TREASURE FOR ART LOVERS, December 10, 2004
This review is from: Rodin in His Time: The Cantor Gifts to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Hardcover)
This magnificently conceived and executed catalogue publishes for the first time one of the most amazing collections of sculpture in the United States, the Cantor Gifts to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
The highlight of this handsome folio-size volume is 41 works by acclaimed Impressionistic sculptor Auguste Rodin. Here we find his compelling "Saint John the Baptist Preaching," each sinew of this over life-size figure reflecting on the "voice crying in the wilderness;" his dynamic flying figures with limbs extended into space; and his pensive bust of Victor Hugo.
In addition to Rodin, works by his contemporaries and forerunners are presented - Jean-Baptise Carpeaux, Albert-Ernest Carrier-Beleuse, Aime-Jules Dalou, and others.
With some 150 illustrations and scholarly text Rodin In His Time is a treasure for art lovers.
