Blog 7: Camille Claudel

Vertumo and Ponona - Camille Claudel

Hi People!

Today in my blog, I will talk about my favorite artist, she is Camille Claudel. She is a most beautiful sculpture in the all time (for me), she left a work of great talent. her naturalism with features of impressionism and symbolism always sought the drama in sculpture.

Some of her great works are “vertumo and ponona”, in which Roman mythology served as a metaphor for love and deceit that she lived with Rodin. Another work, “the mature age” was created during her separation with Rodin

After separating from Rodin, she fell into a psychotic state and burned a large part of his work.  Recent biographies talk about abuse and manipulation in their environment: she was forced to enter a psychiatric hospital where she died after thirty years of confinement and without creating any work

Camille is very important for me in history, because it shows that it is possible to sculpture the emotion and sensitivity of a person. She also did it with a perfect technique and a great audacity to face the male chauvinist of her time

thanks for reading my blog

I see you later
