Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condizione: Nuevo. Condizione sovraccoperta: Nuevo. El tema de lo erótico está siempre presente en la obra de August Rodin, tanto en sus esculturas como en sus numerosos dibujos. A lo largo de su carrera, representó el deseo sexual en todas sus facetas. A través de un recorrido cronológico por la carrera de Rodin, esta publicación trata de aproximarse a las múltiples caras del sexo y la sensualidad en su obra y en la sociedad en la que se forjó su arte. Los temas tratados incluyen sus relaciones con las mujeres, sus amistades con poetas y artistas, y la controversia que sus esculturas causaron a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, cuando la sociedad francesa estaba marcada por una disparidad hipócrita entre la moral pública y los deseos privados. Este libro ingenioso y perspicaz, repleto de bellas imágenes, arrojará nueva luz sobre este intrigante aspecto del mundo del artista y su habilidad para captar la fugacidad del placer en un arte intemporal.
