"Il y a toujours quelque chose d’absent qui me tourmente."
French sculptor and illustrator Camille Claudel died #OTD in 1943.
Her art of sculpture, both realistic and expressionist, is akin to Art Nouveau in its skilful use of curves and meanders. Collaborator of sculptor Auguste Rodin, sister of poet, writer and diplomat Paul Claudel, her career was meteoric, shattered by a forced psychiatric internment and an almost anonymous death.
