"Rodin's Obsession: The Gates of Hell"

Selections from the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Collection

"Rodin's Obsession: The Gates of Hell, Selections from the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Collection consists of approximately thirty works relating to Rodin's most challenging and perhaps most important endeavor.

The Gates of Hell (1880-about 1900) was Rodin's first large-scale public project and consequently his most ambitious commission. Originally conceived as an entrance for a museum of decorative arts to be built in Paris, The Gates of Hell features hundreds of figures modeled in high relief and in the round. Many of Rodin's most famous independent sculptures, such as The Thinker, The Kiss, and The Three Shades, were derived from this overwhelming composition. Although the museum of decorative arts was never built, Rodin continued to work on the project for many years."

Like nearly all shows featuring posthumous Rodin casts, this exhibition was attacked by the Florida lithographer and gallerist Gary Arseneau.

Czech sculpture Exhibition at 
Troja Chateau, Prague

The exhibition starts with sculptures from around 1900, and the curator of the exhibition, Marie Halirova, says the great French sculptor August Rodin was at the time highly popular. 

"Rodin exhibited his works in Prague exactly 100 years ago, in 1902. It was his first exhibition in a foreign country and it was immensely successful. Most of the artists whose works are being shown in the first part of the exhibition worked under Rodin's influence."

"Maître Rodin à Prague"

cabinet d'art graphique, Musée Rodin - Paris

From the Musée Rodin Website: 

"En 1887, de jeunes artistes tchèques se regroupèrent au sein d’une association du nom de Manes, qui se montra très active sous la présidence du sculpteur Stanislav Sucharda. En 1898, le premier numéro de leur revue Volné Smery (Nouvelles Directions) est publié et pour la première fois, l’idée d’une exposition d’envergure consacrée à Rodin est évoquée. C’est dans ce but qu’à l’automne 1900, le peintre Arnost Hofbauer et le critique d’art Milos Jiranek vinrent à Paris. L’accueil chaleureux du sculpteur surprit les deux visiteurs, sans doute intimidés par le Maître de Meudon. La rencontre porta vite ses fruits : un important article sur Rodin fut publié en 1901, suivi en 1902 d’une exposition où 88 sculptures et 75 dessins de l’artiste étaient présentés au public tchèque dans le nouveau bâtiment construit par Jan Kotera pour la société Manes. Rodin arriva quelques jours après l’inauguration, en compagnie de Maradka, Mucha et Vacha qui avaient fait le voyage avec lui de Paris. Les photographies que nous présenterons dans le Cabinet d’Art Graphique, ont été prises par un artiste de Prague, Rudolf Bruner-Dvorak. Elles permettent de suivre Rodin pendant tout son séjour tchèque, et d’assister aux différentes manifestations qui avaient été organisées en son honneur, banquet, promenade en calèche ainsi qu’un périple de quelques jours en Moravie."

Le Musée des Beaux-Arts et d'Archéologie propose une exposition qui met en scène la perception de Victor Hugo par les hommes d'hier et d'aujourd'hui, et le culte, exceptionnel par son ampleur, qui lui a été rendu. Aucune exposition ne s'est attachée à mesurer le génie de Victor Hugo au travers du regard d'un autre génie, Rodin.

L'impressionismo e l'età di Van Gogh

Treviso: Veranstaltungs-Tipp für den Winter 2002-2003 in der Casa dei Carraresi:

eine Ausstellung über Vincent Van Gogh und seine Zeit.

Der Ausstellungszyklus, den Treviso dem Impressionismus gewidmet hat, findet im Winter 2002-2003 mit einer Ausstellung seine Fortsetzung, die als logische Folge des "La Nascita dell'impressionismo" (2000) bzw. "Monet. I luoghi della pittura" (2001) gilt. Thema ist der Zeitraum zwischen der ersten Impressionismus-Ausstellung im Atelier Nadar im Jahr 1874 und der letzten Ausstellung im Jahr 1886 bis zum Tod von Van Gogh im Jahr 1890, eine Zäsur zwischen einer Welt davor und einer anderen Welt, die sich zur endgültigen Bestätigung der französischen Kunst in jenen wunderbaren fünfzehn Jahren hin öffnet. Die Ausstellung "L'impressionismo e l'età di Van Gogh" umfasst rund 180 Werke, darunter Malereien, Pastelle, Zeichnungen, Aquarelle, Gravurarbeiten, Bildhauerei, Holzschnitzereien, Fotografien und historische Zeitschriften, welche die Revolution der neuen Kunst zur Gänze bezeugen. Untergliedert ist die Ausstellung in fünf Sektionen ("Impressionismo 1874-1882: l'affermazione e la maturità", "Impressionismo 1883-1890: l'ultimo tempo e la poetica puntinista", "L'idea simbolista", "Rodin e Medardo Rosso" und "Van Gogh"), die den Weg in diesen fünfzehn Jahren in puncto technischer und poetischer Entwicklung verdeutlichen. Hier stellen die Hauptvertreter dieser Kunstepoche aus: Jongkind, Boudin, Sisley, Renoir, Pissarro, Manet, Cézanne, Degas, Gaugin, neben den Bildhauern Rodin und Medardo Rosso. Überdies sind zwanzig Arbeiten von Van Gogh am Ende der Ausstellung zu sehen. Ein Weg, der auf das Ende des Impressionismus hinweist, als jeder dieser Protagonisten einen autonomen und unabhängigen Weg eingeschlagen hat und als Van Gogh seine neue Welt mit einer Tatkraft festigt, die ihn in die Mitte eines Weges stellt, der das Fundament der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts bildet.
