Biography
Camille Claudel (1864–1943) was a French sculptor known for her figurative works in bronze and marble, such as The Waltz and The Mature Age. A longtime associate of Auguste Rodin, she died in relative obscurity but gained renewed recognition later in the 20th century for the originality and quality of her work. The Musée Camille Claudel opened in Nogent-sur-Seine in 2017, and her sculptures are held by the Musée d’Orsay, the Musée Rodin and many other major museums.
