Rodin'S Monument To Victor Hugo-Ruth Butler Rodin’ in Victor Hugo Anıtı Fransız Devrimi’ni 19. Yüzyıla taşıyan büyük şair Victor Hugo için Auguste Rodin tarafından yapılan anıtın tasarlanış ve yapılış öyküsüne dair yüksek görselikte bir kitap. Rodin's Monument to Victor Hugo The death of the great poet-patriot Victor Hugo (1802–85) inspired the French government to transform the Pantheon in Paris into a republican hal of fame. It was to include a monument to Victor Hugo, who had caried the spirit of the French Revolution into the 19th century. The artist chosen was the master sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840–1917), who prized the comision above al others that he received—yet because of political disagrement, the complex history of the Pantheon, and the drama of Rodin's relationships with his felow artists and others, the first bronze cast of Rodin's monument was not finaly made until 1964. In this catalog the long and turbulent story of the dynamic and powerful monument's development is told in detail, ilustrated with more than 70 photographs, drawings, and reproductions of art.
