Although much attention has been paid to her tumultuous life--her affair with her mentor, Auguste Rodin; the premature end to her career; her thirty-year institutionalization in an asylum--her art remains little known outside of France. Memorably praised by critic Octave Mirbeau in 1895 as \"a revolt of nature: a woman of genius,\" Claudel was celebrated for her brilliance during a time when women sculptors were rare. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Featuring more than two hundred photographs along with contributions from leading experts, this publication accompanies the first comprehensive survey of Claudel's oeuvre in nearly forty years. With essays exploring the many facets of her life, work, and reception; a biography; commentary by American sculptor Kiki Smith; and a fascinating appendix of documents written by Claudel and her contemporaries, this volume reevaluates the artist's work on its own merits and repositions her legacy within a more complex genealogy of modernism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This volume, copublished with The Art Institute of Chicago, accompanies an exhibition on view at The Art Institute of Chicago from October 7, 2023, to February 19, 2024 and at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center from April 2 to July 21, 2024.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emerson Bowyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606068709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606068700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
