It brings forth not the debased Rodin of popular culture, or Rodin the herald of a modernism he did not live to see, but the actual artist, embedded in the 19th century, soaked in its values and yet struggling to transcend and alter them. It also clarifies, as never before, the taxing issue of what makes a Rodin "original." He did not work like a modern artist. He seldom carved his own marbles, never cast his bronzes, and turned his models over to assistants so that they could be done in a gamut...
