Camille Claudel (French Sculptor, 1864-1943) The Waltz, 1896, flambé sandstone 40.5 x 37.5 x 18 cm, signed : Claudel and Emile Muller .Private collection.

Camille Claudel came out of the shadows in the period following WW II. A fascinating artist, unique in her style, she was uncompromising in her art. Her own tormented destiny fascinated one and all through books, films and plays, in which appeared a woman victimized by a despotic master, in an undeniably misogynous period, and a merciless family. Her mental health was fragile, and when the doctor noted a slight improvement he suggested she return home. To which her mother said, « One cannot let those who feel persecuted run free, unless one is looking for trouble, for once they are back home they quickly go back to their ideas... ». She died in 1943 far from her family
