Rodin at The AGB: Selections From the Cantor Collection

  • Polk Museum of Art (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

For the late nineteenth century, on the cusp of the abstractive trends of the twentieth, the celebrated master sculptor was Auguste Rodin (1840-1917). Rodin’s bronze sculptures not only revived for a new century the expressive and naturalistic styles of antiquity, using ancient Greek sculptors’ medium of choice, but also propelled figurative sculpture into the modern age with emotion and pathos never seen before in the sculpted form.

— Mark Rothko, “The Romantics Were Prompted,” 1947
