		Rosso wrung endless variations from his original clay models, casting and recasting them in wax, plaster (an even earlier stage in the lost-wax process), and barely finished bronze, leaving the accidents and artifacts of the casting process visible in the final products.

		Rosso applied the qualities of Impressionist painting to sculpture, and through his work attempted to convey immateriality and timelessness, freezing the moment of an appearance.
		Confronting traditional sculpture head-on, Rosso preached what was to be the destiny of 20th-century sculpture, invoking in his work sculpture's right to be nothing, to be merely shadow or ghost.
		The aim was not just to introduce the visitor to Rosso's particular vision of sculpture, but also to document the procedures he used, by presenting different versions of the same piece done with different materials (bronze, wax and plaster), each with a different aesthetic result.

		Her particularly thoughtful treatment of Rosso's interests attempts to reconcile his need to dematerialize his sculpture and his profound interest and attention to the physical material of his sculpture.
		Prior to artists such as Marini, I believe Rosso was the first to never conceal the casting process with chasing and lacquer, but rather leave the firescale and residue as an integral aspect of the "impression" of the piece.

		Rosso attacked this "Inquisition" by "government juries and public intervention" in artistic affairs, and defended the right of art to be difficult, non-conventional.

		Though Rosso, an Italian contemporary of August Rodin, was one of the greatest early modern sculptors working in Paris at the turn of the last century, he is today among the least known.
		Rosso (1858-1928) is often described as an "Impressionist sculptor," not because he was part of the Impressionist movement or because Monet and his colleagues ever worked in three dimensions but because, like them, Rosso was interested in capturing the fleeting appearance of things.
		The accepted view of Rosso is that he achieved these effects by modeling his sculptures in wax, a material that, while never previously regarded as appropriate for sculpture, was ideal for his purposes because of its unique malleability and the way it took light and shadow.

		True to his surname, Medardo Rosso was a fiery spirit who escaped ottocento realism to become one of the progenitors of modern sculpture.
		Curated by Dieter Schwarz of the Kunstmuseum Winterthur, this show of some forty sculptures and twenty-five drawings surveys the artist's brief career, from the detailed genre subjects of the early 1880s to the figures melting into environments from the following decade.
		Rosso urged viewers to "forget the material," but he obviously loved it himself, embracing plaster and wax rather than treating them as mere stages in bronze casting.

		Medardo Rosso (1858- 1928) was a key figure in the birth of modern sculpture, a daring innovator who saved and exhibited his wax casts rather than transforming them into bronzes.
		The fluid modeling and uncanny radiance of these works earned him the title "impressionist sculptor," but his fame did not last, in part because he was not prolific in the usual sense.
		Visitors will be invited to compare versions of each work in plaster, wax, and bronze, to consider issues of lighting, mounting, and presentation, and to discover the techniques Rosso used to arrive at his remarkable results, which were admired by the likes of Rodin, Henry Moore, and Alberto Giacometti.

	Medardo Rosso
		With his figures, Italian sculptor Medardo Rosso succeeded in contributing decisively to the development of modern sculpture.
		In Paris, where Rosso spent the greater part of his life, he found understanding friends in Edgar Degas and the collector Henri Rouart, while friendship with Rodin miscarried because of the rivalry between the two sculptors.
		At around the turn of the century, Rosso's sculptures could be seen at many large European exhibitions; the Futurists would soon hold him up as a model.

		It lives by virtue of his choice of subjects and emotional participation, as in the compositional solutions that are extremely innovative in the free distribution of characters in space, as in his beautiful “Conversazione in giardino” of 1896, one of his master works en plein air.
		It was not rare for Medardo to mutilate works he had created previously and, to the contrary, it became ever more frequent and decisive over the years.

		This insightful book—the first comprehensive study of Rosso’s art—presents an artist more deeply concerned with materials, process, and the reproduction of his works than previously imagined.
		Drawing on a wealth of new archival material and close-up study of the sculptures, the authors show that Rosso’s waxes—his best-known works—were not modeled by hand but cast with the help of gelatin molds.
