Rodin by Rainer Maria Rilke is a book that explores the life and work of the renowned French sculptor Auguste Rodin. Originally published in 1903, the book is a collection of essays written by Rilke, who was a young poet at the time and had been working as Rodin's secretary. The book is divided into two parts. The first part features Rilke's personal reflections on Rodin's artistic process, his philosophy, and his approach to sculpture. Rilke's writing is poetic and insightful, and he provides a unique perspective on Rodin's work that is both intimate and reverential. The second part of the book is a series of letters that Rilke wrote to his wife during his time working with Rodin. These letters provide a glimpse into Rilke's personal life and his struggles as a young writer, as well as his interactions with Rodin and the other artists who worked in his studio. Overall, Rodin is a beautiful and thought-provoking book that offers a deep appreciation for the art and life of one of the greatest sculptors of all time. Rilke's writing is both lyrical and insightful, and his personal connection to Rodin adds a layer of intimacy to the work. For anyone interested in art, sculpture, or the creative process, Rodin is a must-read.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
