  Sculpting the Legacy of Camille Claudel - Art History
Although French sculptress Camille Claudel is known by most art enthusiasts, her contributions to the art world are virtually unknown to the general public or at best, are largely eclipsed by her association with renowned sculptor Auguste Rodin.
Camille Claudel was born in 1864 in Fère-en-Tardenois, a small town in northern France.
As Rodin’s assistant, Claudel had the opportunity to study the nude figure, enabling her to develop a proficiency in portraying the human form that, coupled with her expressive abilities, was unusual for a person of her age.

Claudel is not a pawn in feminist and anti-feminist discussion, or inter-generational battles within the art critic world.
If praise for the Claudel work is faint and short, the problem is the scope of what is considered to be her work (for some the problem is also in appreciating the intensity of her expression; she is immoderate, to be sure).
Camille's mother and sister never came to visit her in the asylum, and even refused to permit her to be released into the family's custody when the staff psychiatrists recommended it.

 NMWA | Private Collection | Profile - Camille Claudel
As a young woman, Camille Claudel was recognized for both her artistic talent and her physical beauty; nevertheless, she spent most of her adult life as a recluse.
By working as Rodin's apprentice, Claudel had the chance to study the nude figure, an unusual opportunity for a woman in the 19th century, but one that gave the artist a profound understanding of anatomical nuances.
In 1913 Claudel was committed to a mental asylum, where she remained until her death 30 years later.

 Camille Claudel
Camille (1864-1943) was born into a modest Family ; her brother was the famous writer Paul Claudel (1868-1955).
However, it was not until the early 1890s that Camille demonstrated the full measure of her art, at a time when her relationship with Rodin was beginning to deteriorate, as is demonstrated by the cruelty of the barbed drawings,which Camille devoted to Rose and Rodin as a couple : the
Camille realised that she would never be Rodin’s wife and would never succeed in ousting Rose Beuret ; the final break between the lovers came in 1898, and the wound it caused was commensurate with the ardour of the love that the two artists had experienced for more than ten years.

 Camille Claudel & Rodin: Fateful Encounter, Oct. 9 - Feb. 5
Largely because of her relationship with Rodin, Claudel was long positioned as a romantic victim rather than the instinctive rebel she truly was.
Odile Ayral-Clause, author of Camille Claudel: A Life discusses how Claudel’s choices in life, her determination to sculpt with as much freedom as her male counterparts and the boldness in which she interpreted the nude, directly challenged the artistic limitations imposed on women in late 19th-century France.
Claudel’s long struggle against the art world ended in her commitment to a mental asylum, but this did not destroy her rebellious spirit.

Nuytten portrays Claudel as the gifted sculptor that she was, but for the most part keeps aesthetics and the politics of the Parisian art world in the background, preferring instead to place the love affair and Claudel’s eventual decline into madness at the foreground of his film.

 'Camille Claudel'
And though there is certainly a temptation to proclaim her an early heroine of feminism and a victim of a male-dominated, art-world hierarchy (both of which are true), the filmmakers have chosen instead to concentrate on the young sculptor's single-minded hunger to express herself, her romance with the mud.

 Camille Claudel   (Site not responding. Last check: )
One such subtlety is the reference to Claudel's given name rather than her family name; the use of the artist's last name has been the traditional practice of art historians when referring to men, however for some reason, when referring to female artists, this tradition is reversed.
A further insult to Claudel in today's criticism of her work is that she is often reduced to the female image of victim.
To the art historians whose goal appears to be to discredit Claudel, they must not revert to personally attacking the authors who oppose their view in order to argue that Claudel was not a sculptor of the caliber of Rodin.
