Episode 3 - Camille Claudel

In this episode, Gaby and Andreina learn more about the French artist Camille Claudel (1864-1943) by watching two films portraying different times in her life: Camille Claudel (1988) and Camille Claudel 1915 (2013). Claudel became one of the most acclaimed sculptors of her time through prodigious ability and drive. However, in popular imagination, she is most often remembered as August Rodin's lover, a secondary character in the history of one of France's greatest artists. Gaby and Andreina discuss how Camille Claudel is portrayed in both films and how the artistic dimension of her life is represented: Do these two films succeed in portraying Claudel in all her dimensions, including as a woman and an artist? Listen to this special episode, the third in our series dedicated to artists and their art in film.
