[ART] - RODIN Auguste (1840 - 1917) - A Sculptor’s Endorsement: Rodin Recommends A Rising Artist - Autograph letter signed, not dated, by the French sculptor. 1 p. in-8. Addressed to a gentleman, recommending: “…Monsieur Lefevre que je vous envoie est un sculpteur de talent qui est proposé pour la 1e médaille mais qui aura surement la 2e. Il vous expliquera ses désirs mais je vous le recommande comme un grand artiste plutôt que comme ami…”. Letters of recommendation by Rodin are relatively scarce and particularly valued when they concern emerging artists. They provide insight into networks of mentorship and validation in the late 19th-century art world. •⁠> This lot is located in and ships from the UK.
