• Resumen

  • The refusal of the London Royal Academy to exhibit Rodin's Idylle in 1886 has been taken as a particular rejection of the artist's ‘modernism’. In effect, the Academy was already under siege from Britain's own revolutionary ‘New Sculpture’ movement and it is possible the Academy's action was a warning to their President, Frederic Leighton, who was both a patron of Rodin and one of the New Sculpture's principal supporters.
