Auguste Rodin 11788, Anne-Marie Bonnet 131818 — Erotic Watercolors
Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 1995, Linnen band met stofomslag, 159, Rodin's sculptures, charged with concentrated energy, muscular action and drama, seem worlds apart from these 107 delicate, quick, spontaneous erotic watercolors of female nudes, painted from the late 1890s up to his death in 1917. Posing in various contortions, and captured explicitly in soft, glowing colors, his women are all contours, silhouettes, crevices, supple lines. Most of them are virtually faceless, and no attempt has been made to portray the models as individuals., Goed
