Auguste Rodin, Paris, from Camera Work: Volume 2

Auguste Rodin, Paris, from Camera Work: Volume 2

1903

Edward J. Steichen

American, 1879-1973

Steichen's reduction of the great sculptor to a backlit silhouette does not diminish his presence. Hovering in the background is Rodin's white marble sculpture of Victor Hugo, positioned as watchful protector or product of the artist's imagination.
