The shadow cast by Auguste Rodin would almost make us forget that Antoine Bourdelle was also a renowned sculptor at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. After lengthy renovations of the artist’s studio, the magnificent Bourdelle museum has just reopened in Paris.
In this setting, it is an opportunity to rediscover the importance of his work in the history of French sculpture and the power of the style expressed by Antoine Bourdelle. From his magnificent bronze Heracles archer to the bas-reliefs that adorn the facade of the Champs-Elysées theater, passing by his busts of Apollo or Beethoven.
