Seminal and highly lauded French sculptor (1840–1917) whose works, including the iconic “The Kiss” and “The Thinker,” earned him a place among the most influential artistic figures of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. LS in French, signed “Aug. Rodin,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 6.5, May 12, 1911. In full (translated): “You asked me to kindly receive your friend Joly and two of his friends to show them my sculptures. But almost all my sculptures are in Meudon and I am not there at the moment. I regret that I cannot receive them for the time being. Also allow me to remind you that I owe Mrs. Lefevre a drawing and that I will give it to her when I have the opportunity to see her.” A postscript provides Rodin’s address and the message that the aforementioned promised drawing was now ready. Mild toning with a few spots touching his last name, otherwise fine condition. Wonderful direct references to sculpture.
