Camille Claudel

For the international women’s rights day I would like to share the story of a great artist: Camille Claudel born was a French sculptor of whose work little remains and who for many years was best known as the student and mistress and muse of Auguste Rodin. When her relationship with him begun to crumble, she started working ceaselessly, impoverished and increasingly reclusive. She became obsessed with Rodin’s injustice to her and began to feel persecuted. On March 10, 1913, she was controversially and involuntarily incarcerated to asylums where she remained until her death in 1943.
