Visiting the Rodin and the room about Camille Claudel I was reminded how often I have thought of her small sculptures and the containing environments she placed her sculpted figures in. I think the impulse to locate her figures in sculpted environments must have been in part because society at the time didn’t create an adequate space for her to be a sculptor in. She was always looking in from the outside while Rodin’s career soared. I was so excited when I saw her name on a wall in Tate and the possibility some of her works might be in the show (sadly, no)
These pics were taken in 2017 on a visit to the Rodin Museum in Paris
