    This is a portrait of Rodin's assistant and lover, Camille Claudel, a sculptress in her own right. Auguste Rodin's career maps the progress of 19th-century art, from the Romantic revolt against Neoclassicism, to the radical enquiry that paved the way for the Modernist developments of the 20th century. The V&A's collection of works by Rodin is unique in that they were given by the artist, to represent his art in Britain and commemorate British soldiers fighting in France in November In this bust Rodin has deliberately left the seam lines created by the piece moulds used in the casting. This is characteristic of his desire to challenge existing concepts of beauty and ‘finish’.

    : Period of solitary creation


    “I have lots of new ideas that would please you enormously (…) I'm greatly enjoying working (…) As you can see, it’s no longer anything like Rodin (…)” These few lines from a letter written by Camille Claudel to her brother in December reveal her current state of mind.


    Break-up with Rodin

    Camille Claudel distances herself from Rodin and isolates herself in her work, exasperated by even the most laudatory critics, who hasten to connect her work with that of her master.  She would never cease to distance herself, to underline her uniqueness and autonomy.  She embarks in new directions and begins her “sketches from life” series inspired by everyday subjects.

    Nevertheless, Rodin, at the height of his career, would continue to discreetly support her both financially and within the art world.

    In late , Rodin rents the Villa des Brillants in Meudon, to which he moves with Rose Beuret. He would become the owner of the property in

    Rodin succeeds Dalou as president of the sculpture section of the S.N.B.A. and Camille Claudel is made a member.
