Already 100 years!

On the occasion of the centenary of his death, the Grand Palais honors the sculptor Auguste Rodin.

Auguste Rodin is one of the most important French sculptors of the second half of the 19th century, considered one of the fathers of modern sculpture. Indeed, before much else it will integrate in its work “the accident”, the assembly, the collage and the partial figure.

On the occasion of the centenary of his death, the exhibition takes a fresh look at this artist and invites collectors and other artists of his time Bourdelle, Claudel, Brancusi, Picasso or Richier, allowing to see and understand the power Of his genius.

The exhibition has 3 parts:

– The first and the second are turned around the main stages of the artist: Expressionist Rodin, and his desire to make the bodies speak in connection with the Gates of Hell, then Rodin the experimenter and his research on the form to return To the very essence of sculpture.

– The third gallery is when it devoted to the sculpture of the twentieth century and the way so it has re-appropriated expressionism. The presence of Rodin is there only through his work “The Only Man Who Walks” where he used a new approach, which will mark a turning point in the sculpture of the twentieth century.
