Rodin's Egypt spotlights the French master sculptor Auguste Rodin’s (1840–1917) little-known fascination with ancient Egypt through the Egyptian artifacts he collected and his own sculptures that were inspired by them. Featuring over sixty works from the Musee Rodin, the show surveys the profound impact Egyptian art had on the sculptor's artistic practice and his approach to the human form. It also showcases Rodin's enchantment with the Egyptian body in it's many iterations, from the monumental figures of pharaohs to the chimeric anatomy of gods, and how this then cultivates conversations on corporeality across the centuries. photo of a stone relief depicting a seated woman with heiroglyphic scriptRodin’s Egypt is curated by Bénédicte Garnier, curator at the Musée Rodin in Paris. The loans are generously granted from the Musée Rodin, with additional items from The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
