Matisse Rodin

This French language catalogue was published for the exhibition Matisse and Rodin presented at Matisse museum in Nice until Sept. 27, 2009 and at Rodin museum in Paris from oct. 22, 2009 until February 28, 2010.

Henri Matisse (1869-1954) et Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) : two great creators, separated by one generation
Much more than a simple biographical approach, the essays assembled here highlight, for the first time, an extraordinary artistic dialogue.

Questions as fundamental as the link between sculpture and drawing, the role of nakedness in the elaboration of a language or the advent of modernity are in favour and go with the flow of texts and pictures of the catalogue.
