Episode 3 - Camille Claudel
<p>In this episode, Gaby and Andreina learn more about the French artist <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://nmwa.org/art/artists/camille-claudel/">Camille Claudel </a>(1864-1943) by watching two films portraying different times in her life: Camille Claudel (1988) and Camille Claudel 1915 (2013). </p><p>Claudel became one of the most acclaimed sculptors of her time through prodigious ability and drive. However, in popular imagination, she is most often remembered as August Rodin's lover, a secondary character in the history of one of France's greatest artists.</p><p>Gaby and Andreina discuss how Camille Claudel is portrayed in both films and how the artistic dimension of her life is represented: Do these two films succeed in portraying Claudel in all her dimensions, including as a woman and an artist? Listen to this special episode, the third in our series dedicated to artists and their art in film. </p><p><strong>Links and sources: </strong></p><p>Abstract of the article “<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23674536/">Camille Claudel: trajectory of a psychosis</a>” </p><p>The Art Institute of Chicago: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/C2zZe47xXRU?feature=shared">Member Lecture: Camille Claudel</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artic.edu/articles/1069/camille-claudel-through-five-works">Camille Claudel through Five Works</a></p><p>Camille Claudel, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.musee-rodin.fr/en/resources/rodin-and-artists/camille-claudel#group_1667">Bust of Rodin</a></p><p>August Rodin, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://rodinmuseum.org/collection/object/103422">Thought (Camille Claudel)</a></p>
