Ecstasies is published in connection with the exhibition Fleeting Moments at SMK and offers an introduction to important aspects of Rodin’s drawings. It addresses Rodin as a draughtsman in and of his time, exploring both the elements that shaped him and those that he went on to shape. But, beyond the individual drawings and the period in which they were made, both book and exhibition also aim to open our eyes to what drawing is and can be. Rodin’s drawings can help us understand many by artists that preceded him and even more of those that followed.
