Leaving Rodin behind? Sculpture in Paris, 1905-1914

As the 20th century dawned, Rodin reigned supreme in the world of sculpture. In France and elsewhere, new generations were seeking to free themselves from his influence.
This exhibition, featuring creative artists from all over Europe, will show how experiments into anti-Rodin volumes were appearing in the work of classical artists — Maillol, Bernard, Lehmbruck — as well as in the work of avant-garde sculptors — Duchamp-Villon, Archipenko, Brancusi.
Rejecting excesses of expression, a whole generation was obsessed with seeking out a feeling for form and line, as these new and original confrontations reveal.
