Recommended Article: About Camille Claudel
“In the workshop where Augusto Rodin faced marble like a convulsive force of nature, one day in 1883 the sculptress Camille Claudel came to work, a 19-year-old girl possessed of a delicate beauty and full of talent. She was the sister of the poet, playwright, and diplomat Paul Claudel; She had studied art at the Colarussi academy and although Camille she only wanted to learn from the master, she very soon became entangled in the disordered passion of that savage. Rodin made it his own and a stormy, neurotic and exciting relationship was established between them, which bore first-class results.”
