Features: The Art Theory of Rodin is both a scientific summary of the history of European sculpture and a refined generalization of personal experience. It is permeated with Rodin's reverence for predecessors, his insightful observations on masterpieces, and the joy and traces of contemplation in his creation, as well as self-reflection. It helps readers appreciate the blossoms within the art world and contemplate the principles beyond it. Back then, Mr. Fu Lei taught at the Shanghai Art College and translated this book into "Lectures on Aesthetics" for his students, intending to provide them with a clear understanding and exploration of the form and spirit of famous artworks before they delved into pure aesthetics. This newly revised illustrated edition is based on the 1999 version and features a substantial enhancement of the illustrations throughout the book.
