| | Camille Claudel & Rodin: Fateful Encounter, Oct. 9 - Feb. 5 |
 | | In her most prolific period, the late 1880s, Claudel’s works reflect her feelings that were “in a passionate embrace with the imagination,” according to her brother, the writer, Paul Claudel. |
 | | By taste and training, Claudel was inclined to follow the path of realism in her sculpture, yet she occasionally relied on stylistic references drawn from the past. |
 | | Paul Claudel as a Child, her brother, and Ferdinand de Massary, her brother-in-law, show the influence of Italian Renaissance portraits. |
