Over fifty vintage photographs from the studios of Rodin,
Brancusi, and Moore on view in London
LONDON.- Waddington Custot Galleries, in collaboration with David Grob, announces an exhibition
presenting over fifty vintage photographs from the studios of Auguste Rodin (1840–1917),
Constantin Brancusi (1876–1957), and Henry Moore (1898–1986). Opening on 22 May 2015, Rodin,
Brancusi, Moore: Through the Sculptor’s Lens will focus on the importance and prominence of
photography within the practice of each of these pre-eminent sculptors. Dating from the end of the
nineteenth- to the late twentieth-century, the photographs capture a wide-ranging, often iconic,
group of sculptures, including works which were never cast, or have since been lost or destroyed.
Taken from the artists’ own viewpoint, these photographs provide an intimate insight into their
ground-breaking work.
Rodin realised the potential of photography when the
medium was in its infancy, not least as a way to
distribute images of his sculptures, in later years
contributing to his livelihood and cementing of his
international reputation. He employed a series of
professional photographers, directing them to explore
different views, angles and lighting effects. The
photographs allowed him to closely study the three-
dimensionality of his sculptures in progress. Photographs
taken by Jacques-Ernest Bulloz, Eugène Druet, and Pierre
Choumoff, will be exhibited; subjects include figures from Rodin’s most famous commissions, ‘The
Burghers of Calais’ and ‘Monument to Balzac’, ‘The Thinker’ and ‘The Kiss’. 
Brancusi asked: “Why write about sculpture? Why not just show the photographs?” Faithful to this
philosophy, after being introduced to photography by Man Ray, Brancusi took photographs of his
sculptures himself, developing and printing hundreds of images, the majority of which are now in the
collection of the Centre Pompidou, Paris. He viewed his photographs as crucial to the understanding
of his sculpture, using them to explore essential aspects of his work: in a photograph of ‘Endless
Column’, taken steeply from the base, against a background of sky, Brancusi accentuates the sense
of infinity. Brancusi also aimed for results which professional photographers attempted to avoid;
photographic ‘accidents’, reflections, and deep shadows, as seen in his photographs of ‘Fish’ and
‘Golden Bird’, where the shiny, metal surface is disrupted by bright glare. 
Moore’s photographs are the least known and rarely
exhibited, yet he was a prolific photographer whose
images reveal the close relationship between object and
maker. Moore collaborated with renowned photographers,
including John Hedgecoe, but he also produced his own
extensive photographic catalogue of his work. This
exhibition will include a number of photographs relating to
Moore’s commission for UNESCO. The different
arrangements of figures on the maquettes, documented in
these photographs, reveal his preparatory process.
Moore’s photographs of his monumental ‘Two Piece Reclining Figure No.2’ show another use for
multiple shots, exploring surface detail and different angles which create unusual visual impressions
of scale. 
Rodin, Brancusi, Moore: Through the Sculptor’s Lens brings together three sculptors who, in turn,
had a profound knowledge of and appreciation for their predecessor’s work and for whom
photography played a fundamental role in the creative process.

Over fifty vintage photographs from the studios of Rodin, Brancusi, and Moore on view in London

  • 1. Over fifty vintage photographs from the studios of Rodin, Brancusi, and Moore on view in London LONDON.- Waddington Custot Galleries, in collaboration with David Grob, announces an exhibition presenting over fifty vintage photographs from the studios of Auguste Rodin (1840–1917), Constantin Brancusi (1876–1957), and Henry Moore (1898–1986).
