love is destruction

A middle-aged WS male who has a successful career and lacks creativity, and an artistic young woman with great potential for youthful vitality. Young women worship WSN, want to learn from WSN, and are eager to get WSN's affirmation. Under the stubborn and energetic gaze of young women, WSN stimulated his already dry creative enthusiasm.
Only, this WSN is Rodin. And Camille, a female artist with such artistic talent and enthusiasm, was ruined by love.
I originally thought that the love between the two was Hengyuanliu's half-life. If that's the case, it's worth it for Camille to waste her art. But actually, from Rodin's point of view, that love was just a moment. He slept with all his female models. For him, a woman is just a need of life.
But Camille was different because she was an artist as talented as he was. For her, not only life needs but also creative needs. The relationship between them, from teacher and student to lover, took the first step. Rodin said that they were both artists. He understood that Camille insisted on sculpture since childhood. They are soulmates. And in the end, she was the worst one. She spent the second half of her life, more than thirty years, in a lunatic asylum and died.
For someone who loves sculpture so much, for more than 30 years, in an insane asylum like a prison, it is cruel to not be able to make sculptures. I would rather, she be a writer or a painter, then, maybe, she can continue her own creation.
Love is the most complete destruction.

    It is not only desire that is carved with a single knife, but it is all the forbearance and sorrow of a life elsewhere. It is a tragedy to be able to destroy oneself and to plunge into the desperate situation of love. The quiet ending is like Camille's last words "The rest is just silence." She is nothing at the end but a mistress of Rodin. Sigh

    The most regretful thing is that I have carved with you, and the most feared thing is to repeat the same mistakes. After I hate the separation, time flows lively on you, but I never pass by again. Later I locked myself in the small room, thinking that as long as I carve a great work, you will look back at me one day. At the age of seventeen, the messy kiss in the carriage finally looked like a foe. I was lying in the dirt, I smashed all the plaster, I carved three selves. I am like an island, it turns out that you never touched the shore.

Camille Claudel quotes

  • Camille Claudel: [to Auguste Rodin] You stole it all! My youth, my work! Everything!

  • Camille Claudel: You're wrong to think it's about you. You're a sculptor, Rodin, not a sculpture. You ought to know. I am that old woman with nothing on her bones. And the aging young girl... that's also me. And the man is me too. Not you. I gave him my toughness. He gave me his emptiness in return. There you are... three times me. The Holy Trinity, trinity of emptiness.
