Vingt-sept poèmes des Fleurs du Mal
Charles Baudelaire|Auguste Rodin|La Société des Amis du Livre Moderne
1918 · Medium unknown · Drawings and Prints
In 1887 publisher and bibliophile Paul Gallimard asked Rodin to illustrate his personal 1857 edition of Charles Baudelaire’s Flowers of Evil, and in 1918 he published this facsimile. The illustrations constitute a summary of Rodin’s graphic production in the 1880s, including three examples of his "black drawings," so-called for the darkness of their content and ink wash.
