Rodin’s erotic depictions of women in drawings, sculptures, plasters, bronzes, and marbles The theme of the erotic is ever present in the work of August Rodin, both in his sculptures and in his many drawings. Throughout his career, he depicted sexual desire in all its facets, in every mood from delicate innocence to frank intensity, bearing witness to an endless fascination with the flesh and a love of the female form. Taking a chronological path through Rodin's career, this is an intimate approach to the many faces of sex and sensuality in his body of work and in the society within which his art was forged, from mythological portrayals of passion to the context of contemporary erotic literature. The topics featured include his relationships with women, his friendships with poets and artists, and the controversy that his sculptures caused in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when French society was marked by a hypocritical disparity between public morals and private desires. In a 1916 interview, Rodin spoke out against his "They protest against the immorality of my work, they criticize me for loving women…. But they are incapable of understanding what I do." This witty and insightful book, packed with beautiful images, will shed new light on this intriguing aspect of the artist's world and his skill at capturing the fleeting nature of pleasure in timeless art. 150 color illustrations

În Olanda independentă, industriasă și prosperă a secolului XVII, Rembrandt trăiește ambiția și solitudinea, fortuna și falimentul, iubirea și doliu, gloria și neînțelegerea. Lecția de anatomie a Profesorului Tulp îi aduce notorietate, iar burghezii se înghesuie la el pentru a comanda portrete. Dar Compania căpitanului Frans Banningh Cocq – Ronda de noapte – îl dezamăgește... Se bucură în continuare de respect, dar se îndepărtează de el. Pascal Bonafoux ne ghidează într-o operă în care fondul și figurile nu fac decât un singur întreg, ceea ce, pentru Delacroix, este semnul perfecțiunii.

O tout partira... Ces mots qui semblent annoncer une promesse - ou une déconfiture - ne sont rien d'autre que l'anagramme du mot Autoportrait...

Dans la Hollande indépendante industrieuse et prospère du XVIIe siècle, Rembrandt vit l'ambition et la solitude, la fortune et la faillite, l'amour et le deuil, la gloire et l'incompréhension. La leçon d'anatomie du Professeur Tulp lui apporte la notoriété et les bourgeois se pressent chez lui pour commander leurs portraits. Mais La Compagnie du capitaine Frans Banningh Cocq – La Ronde de nuit – désarçonne... On le respecte toujours, on s'éloigne de lui. Pascal Bonafoux nous guide dans une œuvre où le fond et les figures ne font qu'un, ce qui, pour Delacroix, est le signe de la perfection.

La première lettre de Vincent Van Gogh à son frère Théo, datée d'août 1872, est envoyée de La Haye. Il a dix-neuf ans. Il ne sait pas qu'il va peindre. La dernière lettre, inachevée, Théo la trouve dans la poche de Vincent qui s'est tiré une balle dans la poitrine le 27 juillet 1890 à Auvers-sur-Oise. Des dizaines de toiles encombrent sa chambre. Presque quotidiennement, dix-huit ans, Vincent a écrit à Thëo. Et Vincent écrit à propos de tout à Théo comme il lui envoie toutes ses toiles. Il lui montre ce qu'il peint comme ce qu'il est. Ces lettres incomparables - des récits, des aveux, des appels - sont nécessaires pour découvrir le vrai Van Gogh devenu mythe... Il n'est pas un peintre fou. Au contraire, solitaire, déchiré, malade, affamé, il ne cesse d'écrire, lucide, comme il traque la lumière. Pascal Bonafoux
