Short and tragic
The story of French sculptress Camille Claudel is a tragic one. The irritatingly short CliffsNotes version: She made her mark with her sensual artwork at the turn of last century; was famously associated as Auguste Rodin’s student, studio assistant, model and lover; was later committed into an asylum for 30 years until she died in 1943; a musical was made about her at the turn of this century. But skip the drama of the musical and just see her work in person in Small Works, Miniatures and Maquettes, also featuring the work of Robert Arneson, Lisa Clague, Arthur Gonzalez, Deborah Kaplan Evans, Lisa Rienertson, Carrie Stivers, Hwei-Li Tsao and Greer Upton.
