Art History: “Auguste Rodin – Challenging Beauty” (V&A Video)
The V&A holds 23 sculptures by French sculptor Auguste Rodin. Between the 1870s and the 1890s he came to challenge traditional notions of beauty and appropriateness – and paved the way for modern sculpture.
This film, presented by V&A curator Alicia Robinson, shows in detail 6 works by Rodin – exploring his earlier work inspired by classical sculpture, Michelangelo and Donatello, and his development into spectacular explorations of patina, light and emotion.
In 1914 Rodin gave his work to the V&A as a symbol of the friendship between the people of France and Great Britain.
