Book excerpt: In 1913, photos of The Nataraja bronze from the Chennai Museum inspired Auguste Rodin's text The Dance of Shiva. Written at the end of his life, this vision of Shiva, Lord of actor/dancers, revealed the underlying links between Rodin's dance sculptures (1910), the Cambodian dancer drawings, and his private collection of antique Venus and Buddha sculptures and wood carvings from India. In this book, historians, artists and poets both French and Indian, bring us a new international vision of Rodin's work.
