"Auguste Rodin: Sculptor"
2000-05-20 until 2001-01-01
Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts
Montgomery, AL, USA

Auguste Rodin was one of the historical giants of sculpture, credited with revolutionizing the way in which sculpture was seen, made and used. Although his vision looks less radical today, Rodin revolted against the traditional academic style of his youth and focused on the then radical themes of personal artistic expression, human sexuality and the inner life of the soul.

This exhibition of bronzes by Rodin includes some of his best-known works including The Man with the Broken Nose and figures from his greatest ensemble, The Gates of Hell. Many of the works are on loan to the Museum from the collections of the Iris and Gerald B. Cantor Foundation and it also includes works belonging to the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts.
