Product Description -
Camille Claudel (1864a€“1943) was among the most daring and visionary sculptors of the late nineteenth century. Although much attention has been paid to her tumultuous lifea€”her affair with her mentor, Auguste Rodin the premature end to her career her thirty-year institutionalization in an asyluma€”her art remains little known outside of France. Memorably praised by critic Octave Mirbeau in 1895 as a€œa revolt of nature: a woman of genius,a€ 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 Claudela€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 artista€s work on its own merits and repositions her legacy within a more complex genealogy of modernism.
