Présentation de l'éditeur
«Rodin was a relentless worker, an outstanding modeller, which is why the
hand was a special instrument for him, a magnificent tool enabling him
to create and give shape to matter.»In this book, Hélène Marraud explores the expressive powers that Rodin gave
to hands. It is, first and foremost, a creative act. After the matter is kneaded
and shaped, the subject emerges from the tips of the sculptor's fingers.Rodin: Revealing Hands also deals with the question of the gesture, the assemblages
and numerous arrangements Rodin carried out around this fragment
of the human body. Modelled hands, cast hands, studies of hands, hands as
monuments, in plaster, bronze or marble, symbolic works such as The Cathedral
and The Hand of God. All the sensitivity and inventiveness of the sculptor
can be discovered on these pages.
