Excellent book with fine color plates.

This is a welcome addition to the literature on Rodin, but what really distinguishes this book is the quality of reproductions. Particularly noteworthy are the small Michelangelo studies (drawings and especially a great wax figure and a woodcarved Crucifixion) and the Rodin gouache drawings, and his small plaster maquettes. Lastly you can truly see the patinas on the Rodin bronzes. I highly recommend this-- its production values are high.
A great book

I have read a few books about Rodin and Michelangelo ( like James S. Ackerman's book )and I really enjoyed this book. It is a solid book, it has full-color images, and I recommend it to any art lover.
