Auguste Rodin Rodin as Draughtsman & Illustrator Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) is widely regarded as the pre-eminent sculptor of the 19th century who in turn influenced many of the great sculptors of the 20th century. However it is only in recent decades that his watercolours, drawings and graphic works have begun to be seriously reassessed and also seen by a wider public at major retrospective exhibitions, for example National Gallery of Art, Washington (1972 & 1982), Hayward Gallery (1986), Royal Academy (2006) and St. Tropez & Seoul (2010). The drawings made by Rodin during the last decades of his life were often of explicitly erotic nude figures and for that reason were not initially exhibited in public.

Rodin made a suite of 20 lithographs, of which 18 were printed in colour and 2 in black, to accompany the text.

The book had been refused by most Parisian publishers who deemed it too risky because it combined an avant-garde erotic novel with drawings by Rodin, an artist who, at that time, was virtually unknown as an illustrator.

The contract was signed with the publisher Vollard who employed the great lithographer Auguste Clot These lithographs were issued as a limited and numbered edition of just 200 copies and the suite to supervise the printing. offered here is No. 5 of the first 15 copies which Clot's skill was legendary.
