From November 12th at the Rodin Museum shop, Paris



[ARTWORK OF THE WEEK] Destiny - Camille Claudel: The very well-constructed sculpture appears as a variation on the theme of destiny. In the first version, the man is still held firmly by youth and life, whereas in the second version, unable to resist being led away, he is pulled from the outstretched arms of the young imploring woman by old age and death.

[ARTWORK OF THE WEEK] Force and Ruse: Emerging from a vague universe of ink wash and gouache is a tormented drawing of raw beauty, representing the violence of a mythical coupling between a centaur and a woman. It is hard to distinguish whether what is depicted is the violence of an abduction or the fiery passion of a woman.

[ARTWORK OF THE WEEK] Farewell : Composed of the Camille‪#‎Claudel‬ with Short Hair (1884) and two independent hands added in front of her face, the work attests to Rodin’s fondness for assemblages. By placing the head and hands on a block of plaster, Rodin shed light on what he thought about plinths. The present work is reminiscent of Thought (1886-89) and heralds 20th-century investigations by sculptors such as Giacometti.
