SHORTIES BALTIMORE MUSEUM OF ART (BMA) RODIN: EXPRESSION & INFLUENCE

ak/gs set 3/6 #730898

BALTIMORE, MD. — “Rodin: Expression & Influence” is on view at the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) through April 6.

Part of the Modern Masters Series, this intimate exhibition explores the sculptural legacy of Auguste Rodin through nearly 30 works by the artist and his contemporaries. Considered the most popular sculptor of the early Twentieth Century, Rodin inspired a generation of artists from Edgar Degas to Henri Matisse.

Featuring both sculpture by Rodin and artists such as Edgar Degas and Pablo Picasso — as well as a selection of works on paper — this exhibition highlights Rodin’s expressive variations, while tracing the ways in which his artistic process charted new territory and both inspired and provoked reaction from his contemporaries.

The exhibition is curated by associate curator of European painting and sculpture Oliver Shell.

The BMA is at 10 Art Museum Drive. For information, www.artbma.org or 443-573-1870.
