An āelegant translationā of Rilkeās writings on sculptor Auguste Rodin that āoffers a fresh look at an unlikely mentorshipā and two extraordinary artists (The New York Times Book Review).
Sculptor Auguste Rodin was fortunate to have his secretary Rainer Maria Rilke, one of the most sensitive poets of our time. These two pieces discussing Rodinās work and development as an artist are as revealing of Rilke as they are of his subject.
Written in 1902 and 1907, these essays mark the entry of the poet into the world of letters. Rilkeās description of Rodin reveals the profound psychic connection between the two great artists, both masters of giving visible life to the invisible. Michael Eastmanās evocative photographs of Rodinās sculptures shed light on both Rodinās art and Rilkeās thoughts and catapult them into the 21st century.
