Versetzen Siesich in die exquisite, sinnliche Skulptur von Camille Claudel mit ihrem tiefgründigen Blick auf ihr bemerkenswertes Werk. Zusammen mit vielen ihrer Gemälde und Zeichnungen wird ihre ...Skulptur mit einem Fokus untersucht, der jedes komplizierte Detail ihrer unglaublichen Darstellungen von Bewegung und menschlicher Emotion offenbart. Bereits in jungen Jahren fasziniert, hat die französische Bildhauerin, Malerin und Zeichnerin Camille Claudel (1864-1943) die Hürden weiblicher Künstler überwunden und sich einen Platz in der Kunstgeschichte geschaffen. Nach einer Lehre bei Alfred Boucher trat Camille in das Atelier von Auguste Rodin ein, mit dem sie eine turbulente zehnjährige Liebesbeziehung hatte, die ihre Kunst oft in den Schatten zu stellen droht. Die beiden Künstler hatten eine starke gegenseitige Beeinflussung, und jedes ihrer Merkmale erschien in der Arbeit des anderen. Nachdem Claudel die Beziehung abgebrochen hatte, umauf der Suche nach Selbstverwirklichung ihren eigenen Weg zu gehen, schuf sie ein atemberaubendes, unglaublich modernes Werk. Obwohl viele davon von ihren eigenen Händen zerstört wurden, sind die, die uns geblieiben sind, ein starkes Zeugnis ihres künstlerischen Genies.
Mellom 1892 og 1901 var Gustav Vigeland på to lange opphold i Paris, i en periode som ledet opp til hans gjennombrudd. Arbeidene han slo gjennom med kan tolkes som inspirert av samtidig fransk kunst. ...Fra disse årene finnes flere likheter mellom Vigelands og franske Camille Claudels verk. I hvilken grad var hun en inspirasjon for Vigeland? Gjennom kontekst og utvalgte verk diskuterer artikkelen en mulig forbindelse.
This article interprets various letters by the French sculptor Camille Claudel, in the light of fin-de-siècle French discourses on the 'femme artiste' and 'art féminin'. Drawing on the ...psychopathological concept of the 'double bind' and theoretical discussions of the gendering of genius, the article argues that the artistic and epistolary persona constructed in these letters throws light on the psychological conflicts typically experienced by talented women faced with paradoxical injunctions. It concludes that Claudel's personal negotiation of these constraints contained elements of success and failure that cause us to rethink the typical formulaic, pathologizing explanations of her life story.
Camille Claudel is a sculptor who has traditionally been approached in terms of her relationship to Rodin and his influence on her work. Indeed, the two shared a passionate relationship and there are ...certainly similarities between the two sculptors' work which provide for fascinating analyses. However, one of the acknowledged but previously unexplored speculations on Claudel's art suggests that it involves a measure of veiled spirituality sealed within its stone. It is precisely this sacred element within her sculptures that offers viewers an opportunity to experience transcendence while identifying with fundamental themes. Furthermore, Claudel created her figures as a method of interior healing and deliverance. This theme of redemption will be essential to arriving at the more profound, multifaceted interpretations of her sculptures. To highlight the connections to the various artists and movements discussed in the thesis, Claudel's piously thematic art can be compared to the nontraditional illustrations by Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and the religious depictions of James Tissot, as well as being seen as engaging with the idea of theosophy and the Symbolist art movement. It is true that in fin-de-siècle France, due to the advancing secularization of society, viewers did not understand religious and spiritual symbolism in art as comprehensively as they had in the past. However, it will be necessary to show that Claudel was not the only artist interested of her era who persisted in conveying spiritual themes within supposedly secular scenes. Yet, Claudel's work remains unique in that it communicates the theme of redemption through its creation as well as through its creator. Chez Claudel, the art and the artist are united and one cannot be fully understood without the other. Moreover, through her masterpieces, she did not only offer insight into the meaning of existence; through her redemptive works she found momentary salvation for herself and for others from the excruciating outward oppression present at the close of the 19th century. Unfortunately, since the moment she began to successfully achieve recognition for her work critics have been content to view each of Camille Claudel's sculptures as a deliberate response to her tumultuous relationship with Rodin. This thesis will investigate more enlightened interpretations made possible when one simultaneously considers the role of her spirituality. It will become unmistakably clear that Camille's brother Paul was right when he stated that her work is vastly different from all other artists' "because it welcomes light and radiates the inner dream that inspired it" (Ayral-Clause 157).
As in frequently found in women's art, Camille Claudel's works tend to be intrepreted in a biographical context that limits their artistic significance. Claudel's sculptures are formally analyzed ...through the concepts of intellectuality and sexuality instead of biographical content.
Bruno Nuytten's film "Camille Claudel" presents itself as biography, but is constructed as a melodrama. A new reading of the story is provided to show what a feminist film dealing with the same life ...might have looked like.
