Description
Camille Claudel: A Revolt of Nature A comprehensive reevaluation of French modernist sculptor Camille Claudel's life and work, this catalogue features over 200 photographs and contributions from leading experts. Claudel was celebrated for her brilliance during a time when women sculptors were rare, yet her art remains little known outside of France. This publication accompanies the first comprehensive survey of Claudel'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 are also included. With its abundant illustrations and insightful analysis, this volume reevaluates the artist's work on its own merits and repositions her legacy within a more complex genealogy of modernism.
