Exhibition at the Musée Bourdelle, Paris, 2 October 2024 - 2 February 2025

Antoine Bourdelle (1861-1929) admired Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), twenty years his senior. He worked for fifteen years as a practitioner, cutting marble for Rodin. The master saw in this willingly unruly heir a 'trailblazer for the future', and the two artists' paths ran parallel, often overlapping.

Through more than 160 works, including 96 sculptures, 38 drawings, 3 paintings and 26 photographs, this exhibition catalogue confronts the works of the two artists with unprecedented ambition and scope, examining the fraternities and reciprocities as well as the divergences and antagonisms of two creators, two plastic universes, bearers of the major issues of modernity.
