A Walk About Water: The Museum Of Camille Claudel

I have only included the works by Camille Claudel in this brief photo essay, but the museum houses some of the best sculptures of both the naturalist and symbolist movement, with Rodin and Alfred Boucher enormously represented. It would be apt to show both these tremendous artists too, and perhaps a second blog post will incorporate their work as Boucher was Camilles first mentor, and Rodin her fateful second, but eventually she superceded them both and moved stridently into the symbolist future in her own right, and I believe she deserves her work to be seen in its own light, free from the impediments of her brilliant and prodigious forebears.

Reference to her work is sparing, as it is often best to allow the images and work to speak for themselves, however, a brief description is placed beneath some works to give them context in the collection entire.
