Label scar to dustwrapper's upper panel. Very good condition. "Auguste Rodin rose from humble origins to become one of the most influential sculptors of all time. Regarded during his life as a Michelangelo of the modern age, Rodin mirrored the multiple facets of the human condition through the lifelike quality of the figures he portrayed, and challenged existing notions of form by considering details of finished works in a variety of different media. ... Jennifer Gough-Cooper's photographs capture qualities in the sculpture that are often not immediately apparent, revealing soft Impressionist forms with a wonderful painterly quality." .
