Publisher's Synopsis
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, in 2017, one hundred years later, we celebrate the power and emotion of his work. The Short Biographies series from Applewood's Benna Books imprint 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 a museum.
