Rodin and America: Influence and Adaptation 1876-1930 November 6, 2011

Auguste Rodin, the most famous sculptor of his day, appealed to sophisticated American collectors and had a profound influence on American artists that began in the 1890s and persisted for decades after his death in 1917. This exhibition is the first to examine the scope of this influence, analyzing the impact of his work and his ideas on sculptors, such as Malvina Hoffman and Lorado Taft, and on artists working in two dimensions, such as the photographer Edward Steichen and the painter Georgia O'Keeffe.
