Next week’s lecture, Thursday 14th May at 6.45pm, will be:
CATHERINE LAMPERT: L’ENLÈVEMENT: ON RODIN’S DRAWINGS
Rodin’s eyes seize his subject. Many of his rapid sheets skirt the concept of an “enlèvement”- not so much a rape, as “a carrying away”. During the sculptor’s last decades, long sessions with the model generated some of the most astonishing line-drawings and watercolours ever made: linking forward to Matisse, and back to the Romantics – as well as to Symboliste Art in general.
