Rodin

""Rodin"" is a book written by the acclaimed poet Rainer Maria Rilke, which offers a unique perspective on the life and work of the famous French sculptor Auguste Rodin. Originally published in 1903, the book is a collection of letters that Rilke wrote to Rodin over the course of several years, during which he served as the sculptor's secretary and confidant.

He also shares his own insights and reflections on the creative process, offering a profound meditation on the nature of art and the role of the artist in society. Beautifully written and deeply insightful, ""Rodin"" is a must-read for anyone interested in the art of sculpture or the creative process more broadly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
