From pen to chisel: Camille Claudel's correspondence

To celebrate the acquisition of six letters written by Camille Claudel to Eugène Blot, the museum presented some fifteen of the artist's letters in its permanent collections. Exhibited alongside the sculptures, these writings shed light on the genesis and reception of the works, and highlight Camille Claudel's supporters: publisher Eugène Blot, sculptor Auguste Rodin and art critics Mathias Morhardt and Gustave Geffroy. Beyond the valuable information these letters provided on the works, they embodied Camille Claudel, who shared her enthusiasms, doubts and torments with her correspondents.
