About This Item
Paris: Editions du Chene, 1997. Quarto. 191 pp; profuse color photographs & b/w illustrations; bibliography. Text in French. Hardcover with dustjacket, ribbon marker. Near Fine/Near Fine, a clean, unmarked copy; jacket with no rips or tears. SIGNED by photographer on half-title page. This book focuses on Auguste Rodin, the man: his childhood in Paris, learning the trade and his years in Brussels, attending artistic and literary circles, meeting with Camille Claudel, but also life in the villa with Rose Beuret, his girlfriend, and finally his life at the Hotel Biron, which became the Museum Rodin. By revealing aspects of both more intimate and anecdotal nature, we discover good living at family meals, lunches with friends at Meudon, his villa and lavish banquets offered in his honor. Rodin's correspondence, his notes and drafts, documents and testimonies abound with gastronomic allusions and tell us about his tastes and eating habits. Includes many recipes.. Signed. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
