Rodin:
and the art of ancient Greece
Rodin, famous for his sculpture The Thinker, drew energy and inspiration from the art of classical antiquity, and he absorbed and assimilated the models of ancient Greek and Roman art in his own work in innovative ways. The Parthenon sculptures were a particular source of inspiration and he drew them first-hand on several visits to the British Museum, as outlined in this exhibition catalogue. The cover concept features a translucent half-height jacket, allowing the design to focus on his renowned sculpture The Kiss.
