A mineral, rocky, vertiginous… modelling
Hands-on artistic workshops for families
This skin, so smooth, of a face or body is magnified by a mineral shock of hair, by a rocky labyrinthine beard, by a vertiginous enlacing drapery…
Children and parents participating in this hands-on artistic workshop and contemplating works by Camille Claudel: do you still only see faces and bodies?
After an initial modelling in clay of some portion of the human body complemented by drapery, hair or a beard, you exchange your works with other members of the family for further inspiration. What new meaning or direction do you now lend the sculpture? Will your work be swallowed up by drapery, hair or a beard, features that are hardly of secondary importance? Will admirers be tempted to lose themselves in the sculpture’s depths and asperities?

Thematic tours of the collections
Camille Claudel (1864-1943) and Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) through the collections
Camille Claudel became an assistant to Auguste Rodin while he was still working on The Gates of Hell, a commissioned work begun in 1880. While collaborating with Rodin, she managed to also pursue her own artistic production. The works focused on during this tour shed light on the years of close collaboration and the artistic connections between these two sculptors who first met in 1882 and had a passionate and complicated love affair. During this period, Camille Claudel sculpted the bust of Auguste Rodin, while the latter conjured the figure of Camille Claudel in several of his works, including France and Farewell. Finally, the tour lingers over a more intimate exploration of Camille Claudel’s The Mature Age; this work evokes the lovers’ separation, while also touching upon a theme dear to this artist: man’s fate.
