Camille Claudel (1864–1943) was among the most daring and
visionary sculptors of the late nineteenth century. Although much
attention has been paid to her tumultuous life—her affair with
her mentor, Auguste Rodin; the premature end to her career; her
thirty-year institutionalization in an asylum—her art remains
little known outside of France. Memorably praised by critic Octave
Mirbeau in 1895 as “a revolt of nature: a woman of genius,”
Claudel was celebrated for her brilliance during a time when female
woman sculptors were rare. Featuring more than two hundred
photographs along with contributions from leading experts, this
publication accompanies the first comprehensive survey of
Claudel’s oeuvre in nearly forty years. With essays exploring the
many facets of her life, work, and reception; a biography;
commentary by American sculptor Kiki Smith; and a fascinating
appendix of documents written by Claudel and her contemporaries,
this volume reevaluates the artist’s work on its own merits and
repositions her legacy within a more complex genealogy of
modernism.
