Between 1876 and 1879, Camille Claudel spent three years as a teenager in the small town of Nogent-sur-Seine in the department of Aube, some one hundred kilometers from Paris. These were determining years for the young artist as she met her future master and “discoverer” of her talent, French sculptor Alfred Boucher.<\/p>\n
The Camille Claudel museum<\/a> opened on 26th of March in the very same house where the sculptor and her family used to live. The museum is meant as a tribute to this artist who has been cheated out of her rightful aknowledgement, who is sadly more famous for her hardships and internment into a mental asylum than for her genial and plentiful artwork. The museum exhibits some 43 art pieces from Camille Claudel, which are thoughtfully organised into a thematic itinerary.<\/p>\n All main stages of her life are represented in this itinerary: starting from her early years in the naturalist movement with her first art master Alfred Boucher, followed by her\u00a0apprenticeship with Rodin to whom she became his closest collaborator. From such renowned art pieces as Old Helena<\/em>\u00a0(\u00ab\u00a0Vieille H\u00e9l\u00e8ne\u00a0\u00bb) to Dawn<\/em>\u00a0(\u00ab\u00a0L\u2019Aurore\u00a0\u00bb) and also The Crouching Woman<\/em>\u00a0(\u00ab\u00a0La Femme accroupie\u00a0\u00bb) or\u00a0the monumental sculpture Perseis and the Gorgon<\/em>\u00a0(\u00ab Pers\u00e9e et la Gorgone\u00a0\u00bb), we have an insight into the artist’s sense for\u00a0architercture\u00a0and public space management, her relations with other artists in\u00a0her entourage\u00a0and finally, an understanding of her\u00a0struggle.<\/p>\n The museum also exhibits\u00a0a collection of sculptures from French artists of the 19th and 20th century, among these art pieces from Dubois and Boucher.<\/p>\n A grand exhibit is planned portraying a dialog between Claudel and Rodin. From their very first meet in Paris in 1883, master-sculptor Rodin was seduced by his new apprentice’s talent. Their intimate work liaison, augmented by\u00a0their\u00a0passionate love affair, resulted in the creation of unique artwork marked by a common handprint.<\/p>\n More information about the museum\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0 Between 1876 and 1879, Camille Claudel spent three years as a teenager in the small town of Nogent-sur-Seine in the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18685,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[407,868],"tags":[652],"class_list":["post-19661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en","category-general-knowledge","tag-french-culture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.ife.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.ife.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.ife.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.ife.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.ife.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dev.ife.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.ife.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.ife.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.ife.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.ife.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
