"Rodin and America: Influence and Adaptation, 1876-1936,"
just opened at Stanford's Cantor Arts Center, does everything an exhibition organized by a teaching museum ought to do. Examining a little-studied moment in American art - the immediate impact here of Auguste Rodin's work and myth - it will inform and surprise even the most prepared visitor.
Names almost as famous as Rodin's add luster to the project - John Singer Sargent, Georgia O'Keeffe, Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz, Alexander Calder - but much of the work displayed represents artists familiar only to specialists in the period.
