PARIS MUSEUMS NEWS AND INFO
from the 15/ 4/ 2008 until the 20 / 7/ 2008 Camille Claudel
Retrospective of Camille Claudel’s
Camille Claudel was however better known for her passionate relationship with the sculptor Auguste Rodin than for her work.
The Rodin Museum is presenting a retrospective of her work with over 80 marble, terracotta, plaster, onyx and bronze sculptures and drawings.
Camille Claudel was Rodin’s lover, student and acolyte. The celebrated sculptor was twenty years her senior. While she made no secret of Rodin’s influence on her work, it would seem that the opposite was also true, to the point that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between their respective sculptures. The originality and intensity of her sculptures have since won her universal recognition as an artist...
This fascinating retrospective of Camille Claudel’s masterpieces draws visitors into the surging creativity of her artistic work.
