The Agony And The Ecstasy.(exhibition of sculptor Camille Claudel's works)(Brief biography)(Brief article)
Byline: editor: Valerie Steiker ELISABETH FRANCK-DUMAS
A s doomed artists/muses go, French sculptress CAMILLE CLAUDEL cuts a mesmerizing figure. Born into a conservative provincial French family at the end of the nineteenth century, she joined the great Auguste Rodin's Paris workshop in 1884, at the age of 20. Soon she was lending her hand to such monumental works as The Burghers of Calais and showing her own sculptures in salons. Her first large-scale piece, a work of plaster called Sakountala, depicting a reunited couple, won a mention at the 1888 Salon des Artistes Francais. Famously, Claudel also became Rodin's lover. The affair lasted some ten years, after which she gradually sank into paranoia, destroying a lot of her own work. She was eventually committed to a mental institution, where she spent the last 30 years of her life.

At least a foot of confetti hides the floor. Streamers whisper and gossip, an ocean to walk through. So deep a confession wrung from lipless flutes. A city buried with debris. I raise my hands, charismatic looking back to a mind clear and smooth untroubled by spirits who would be my clock to
