Rodin’s Dancers: Moving Toward the Limits of Sculpture

Rodin’s Dancers centers on the role that dance and dancers played in the development of a modernist sculptural aesthetic.  Rodin’s interchange with several prominent dancers and troupes—performers whose choreographies pioneered new configurations of the human instrument—prompted him to push sculpture to its limits, fundamentally changing the meaning of his art and the nature of his practice.
