Medardo Rosso : Catalogo Ragionato Della Scultura

Italian sculptor Medardo Rosso (1858-1928) began his artistic career following the Milanese scapigliatura. In 1883, he went to Paris where he met Impressionist artists. He mostly realised sculptures in wax, but also worked bronze, earthenware and plaster. He exhibited his works in Paris, Vienna, London and Venice, then again in Paris at the 1889 Exposition Universelle. His contemporaries, from Degas to Rodin, showed him a great esteem. He influenced artists as Boccioni, Carrà and Giacomo Manzù.
This book is the catalogue raisonné of Rosso's sculptures. It presents a detailed survey of his works, their variations, and a large corpus of notes and original photographs by the artist.
