This work examines the radical changes that transformed sculpture between 1890 and 1918.
Albert Edward Elsen è stato un distinto professore alla Stanford University, uno studioso di Auguste Rodin e uno storico dell'arte modernista. Il suo lavoro si è concentrato sull'analisi di figure e movimenti chiave nell'arte, enfatizzando la valutazione critica e una profonda comprensione delle creazioni artistiche. I contributi di Elsen hanno illuminato l'evoluzione dell'arte moderna e il suo impatto sulle generazioni successive di artisti e teorici.


This work examines the radical changes that transformed sculpture between 1890 and 1918.
Library Journal: "A one-man Rodin industry, Elsen (Art History, Stanford) has written several books on the father of modern sculpture; and this is his second on ``The Gates of Hell.'' In the present richly illustrated volume, Elsen tells the story of the creation of the gates from the first preliminary drawings through their successive metamorphoses. Included are a panel-by-panel illustrated tour of the gates and a concluding chapter on Rodin's time. Free of the usual art historical cant, this is a very readable contribution containing much material of general interest on Rodin's emergence as one of the great sculptors of world history."--Raymond L. Wilson, Humanities Department, San Francisco State University
