A Short Biography of Auguste Rodin

Auguste Rodin did not follow the prescribed path for a nineteenth century artist, but forging his artistic growth in his own way may have been the driver that made him the most innovative sculptor of his day. Now, over one hundred years later, we celebrate the power and emotion of his work.

The Short Biographies series features short, intriguing, and entertaining biographies of world-renowned figures. Each beautiful hardcover book includes an interesting retelling of a single person's life, suitable for young adults and adults alike. These little gems will become beloved souvenirs of a favorite artist or a memorable trip to the museum.

Works by Auguste Rodin are in the collection of the Chrysler Museum of Art.
