Female nude reclining
Auguste Rodin French
Not on view
This model’s ecstatic pose hints at the erotic nature of many of Rodin’s late drawings. The unselfconscious state brought on by desire and the registration of pleasure in the body appealed to the artist as part of his broader fascination with the expressivity of the female form. Rodin’s frank treatment of sexuality, particularly in his drawings, is a key aspect of his work’s modernity.
