The sculptor Emile
Bourdelle (1861-1929) was one of the young sculptors Rodin had
engaged to carve the marble works for him. From 1893 to 1906, he was a
studio assistant and a close friend to Rodin, who attributed him highest
craftmanship. The Museum displays over 500 works by Bourdelle - sculpted
in marble, plaster, clay, bronze, polychrome material, and also
paintings, pastels, sketches for frescos, as well as Bourdelle’s
personal collection. The Museum features the sculptor's apartment, the
garden of sculptures and a complete new wing.
Although I could not find any reference in the Museum´s Website, I
remember to have seen a bronze portrait bust of Rodin by Bourdelle here.

Rodin, upon visiting the first solo exhibition of Maillol´s work in
June 1902, recognized Maillol´s talent and fancied his work. Maillol,
from his side, later stressed his distance to Rodin and said he had
never understood and appreciated Rodin´s sculptures. Although I found
three Rodin bronzes in the Musée Maillol during my 1997 visit and the
Museum´s catalog quotes Rodin´s conversation with Mirbeau, in which
Rodin expressed his admiration for Maillol´s Leda, of all 35 artists
represented in the Maillol Museum, Rodin is the only one whose work is
not presented by an image in this book. The Website does not mention
Rodin either.

In the heart of the Paris' 16th arrondissement the studio of the
sculptor Henri Bouchard (1875-1960), which has been preserved intact by
his descendants, presents a broad selection from the artist's many works
: sculptures in plaster, stone and bronze together with his tools, and
explanations of sculptural techniques.
Bouchard - like Bourdelle and Maillol - worked and lived in Paris
when Rodin had reached fame already. For those interested in Rodin and
visiting Paris, the museums for his fellow-sculptors are well worth a
visit.

FONDERIE DE COUBERTIN, ST. REMY
Fonderie Coubertin
BP2 78470 St Rémy les Chrevreuse, France
Tel. +33 - 1- 30 85 69 41

Since its creation in 1963, the Fonderie de Coubertin has invested
to improve the ancestral techniques of fine-art foundry and
boilermaking. Its set up and equipment enable its team to carry out
complex works and to restore heritage works. One of the Fondry´s most
prestigious projects was producing a bronze cast of Rodin´s "Gates
of Hell" for the Cantor Foundation, and other Rodin sculptures
commissioned by the Musée Rodin.
The Museum has gathered sculptures and drawings by Joseph Bernard
(1866-1931). The Sculpture Garden shows sculpture from Auguste Rodin up
to today's artists.
