On 11 January 2003, we received an email message from Jacques de Caso, Professor Emeritus of Art History at the University of California at Berkeley. Prof. de Caso announced he would give a lecture in Munich on 6 February 2003, and proposed we should meet personally during his stay in Munich to get acquainted more closely. We attended the lecture given by Prof. de Caso at the Institute for Art History at the Ludwig-Maximilian University, then met with him informally in Munich-Schwabing.Jacques de Caso is a widely renowned specialist for Nineteenth Century art, particularly sculpture and has published on artists like David d'Angers, Pradier, Géricault, Rodin and recently Théophile Bra. Théophile Bra was the subject of his lecture in Munich, "Romanticism and its Discontents". |
In 1977, de Caso, together with Patricia Sanders, published "Rodin's sculpture: a critical study of the Spreckels Collection, California Palace of the Legion of Honor". In this catalog, one of the largest collections of original Rodin bronzes and plasters worldwide is presented and analyzed. Most of these works have their origin in the private collection of Alma de Bretteville-Spreckels. |
