AUGUSTE RODIN AND 19TH CENTURY SCULPTURE
Lecturer: David Worthington
Rodin is one of the heroic figures of 19th century art history. Out of favour for a time, he is now seen as having taken sculpture on a revolutionary path, equivalent to that of the Impressionists.
This lecture surveys his work, showing why he is regarded as one of the greatest sculptors ever.
David graduated from Oxford University in 1984 with a degree in Philosophy and Theology, then studied fine art in London, Barcelona and New York. He is a Fellow of The Royal Society of Sculptors, and was Vice President in 2010-13. He has carried out public commissions in the UK, America and Japan and exhibited his sculptures at many solo shows in the UK.
