The Works and Passion of Camille Claudel- Goddess Art
Goddess art, goddess of sculpture and passion that met fingers to clay, and stone, Camille Claudel's life was art and passion was her guide. She was a prodigy of Rodin's but I personally feel her ability to project emotions onto her work exceeded Rodin's talent. Because she was a woman? Is that why? Up to you to decide.
She was PASSIONATE about art and sculpting. Rodin no doubt felt threatened by her as an artist. She continued on to do what she loved though despite difficulties.
In later years she was put into an institution by her brother, with the full encouragement of her mother.. oh the betrayal. I think of her there.. no art, no clay under her fingers. Thinking of her dying there without art seems to be the cruelest thing imaginable to such a talent as Camille Claudel.
I have heard tale that she is the one who did a lot of his hands and feet on his sculptures. What could be harder than sculpting or drawing hands and feet right? Her talent excelled and as you will see as you review her work her talents gave her wings and she indeed flew on her own.
I actually have 'two' lenses on Camille Claudel the other one titled "Camille Claudel ll". Just can't get enough of her I guess!

More About Camille Claudel
Camille ClaudelFrench, 1864-1943
As a young woman, Camille Claudel was recognized for both her artistic talent and her physical beauty; nevertheless, she spent most of her adult life as a recluse. Much attention has been focused on Claudel's relationship with her teacher, mentor, and lover, Auguste Rodin. Her complex personal drama has brought her prominence through scholarly and popular accounts. Yet it was first and foremost her unrivaled ability to convey narrative through marble and bronze that attracted patrons and critical accolades.
Born in Fère-en-Tardenois, Aisne, Claudel moved with her family to Paris around 1881. She studied sculpture at the Académie Colarossi, one of the few art academies in France open to female students. Along with other sculptors, she also shared an independent studio where Alfred Boucher taught. In 1883 Boucher won a Prix de Rome and departed for Italy; he asked Rodin to serve as adviser to Claudel and her colleagues in his stead.
Two years later, Rodin asked Claudel to become a studio assistant. By working as Rodin's apprentice, Claudel had the chance to study the nude figure, an unusual opportunity for a woman in the 19th century, but one that gave the artist a profound understanding of anatomical nuances. Claudel modeled hands and feet for Rodin's Burghers of Calais and posed for figures in his Gates of Hell.
In 1893, because Rodin's work and stature occupied front stage in French culture, Claudel secluded herself in her studio to disassociate herself from him and to try to establish her own reputation. Her love for portraying the human form resulted in certain sculptures that the state and an infuriated press censored as overly sensual and inappropriate for public display. These circumstances may have contributed to the decline of her career and her mental state. In 1913 Claudel was committed to a mental asylum, where she remained until her death 30 years later.

Set in Los Angeles, Nicole Holofcener's bittersweet tale examines the evolving lives of four women friends: married and financially secure Jane (Frances McDormand), Franny (Joan Cusack) and Christine (Catherine Keener), and their single friend Olivia (Jennifer Aniston).

Recently released from a mental hospital after treatment for self-mutilating tendencies, a young woman (Maggie Gyllenhaal) gets a job as a secretary for a successful attorney (James Spader) with a tendency toward angry disapproval.

Sirènes - Camille Claudel
"From the Womb of God New Earth Does Form"
Clay is nothing more than dirt.. refined and then used to make wonderful things. There are sculptures made from Marble.. different rocks...Here is a poem I wrote about rocks in essence .. new earth forming.
"From the Womb of God New Earth Does Form- Communicating With God and Art"
I feel it in the air
I sense it in the birds
and the trees that stand with grace.
Wild orchids flow
in honor of today.
I will carefully choose my treasure
and wear it in my hair.
Sweet scent of erotic pleasure
only flowers can bring.
Voices from volcanoes sing...
Ohh...
I hear it
I sense it.
New earth spits out a sound
it is the birthing of new land.
I stand
STILL
Listening.
Listening.
We will walk upon the land
carefully
reverently
praying for mercy
hoping it is within our grasp.
We will look out on the ocean
from a far
hold our hopes intact
as life forms.
Pele will forever guard this trail
weeping tears of coal.
Blended secrets
legends abound
jealous lover
melted on the skyline.
Sacred tales
only a Hawaiian knows
tied with ti leaves
rocks of grace
forever chanting
vibrations humming
dancing
and blessing their sacred sound.
