Medardo Rosso settled in Paris in 1889 and took up with the city’s greats— Amedeo Modigliani, Edgar Degas, Auguste Rodin. He created visionary sculptures in a Post-Impressionist style, studying the transient and ephemeral effects of light. Though he established a close friendship with Rodin, Rosso spent most of his career in his shadow. When Rodin died in 1917, the playwright Guillaume Apollinaire wrote, “Rosso is now, without a doubt, the greatest living sculptor.” Despite Apollinaire’s praise, Rosso was not widely known when he died in 1928, at age 70. This large-scale retrospective gives an overlooked artist his due. —Elena Clavarino
