Throughout his career, Rodin cut and pasted figures from his drawings into albums, testing out new arrangements and juxtapositions. This exhibition presents some 250 drawings, 90 of which contain cut-outs, and argues that these collages are not just exercises, but artworks in their own right. Find out more about the Rodin exhibition from the Musée Rodin’s website.
