RODIN AND CAMILLE CLAUDEL: A LOVE AND AN ART STORY

If you had to give the story between Auguste Rodin and Camille Claudel a title, it would probably be “Beauty and the Beast”.

When they met he was already a famous sculptor, he was more than 40 years old, lame, short and also short-sighted.
Camille, instead, was a beautiful 18-year-old girl who had arrived in Paris in the 1880s from northern France with a head full of dreams.
She was the pupil, he was the master.

Eventually they became lovers, and the works they created seem to be the representation of their tumultuous love.
