CAMILLE CLAUDEL

The revelation of Camille Claudel as an artist in her own right is the primary focus of this study. Clear and simple in theme and design, and containing over forty illustrations, Camille Claudel: A Sculpture of Interior Solitude unfolds her life and art in distinct movements, beginning with a biographical sketch and ending with a comparison of her art to that of her contemporary, Aristide Maillol. The book unveils the uninterrupted movement of Claudel's path to artistic creativity and independence, the price for which was solitude and self-denial.
