Afraid of Camille's madness

It is terrifying to act blindly and willfully, and blindly unrealistic expectations will eventually lead to endless emptiness. Although I don't know if Rodin took advantage of Camille, it made me even more anxious to see Camille treating her talent with a self-destructive attitude. In the past, she was a young girl who was passionately chasing art and an older sister who brought secret power to her sensitive younger brother's heart, but she has evolved into a self-enclosed mental maniac. At the Camille exhibition at the museum, the diplomat's brother, who was well-mannered and well-spoken, saw his gypsy-style sister with heavy makeup and ran away without saying hello. I was angry because my sister had given so much comfort to my brother's sensitive heart. But maybe he was afraid of destroying the image of the sister who always had mysterious power in his heart. I realized that my boring moments were caused by shutting down my own waywardness. The only way to live in the moment is to keep trying, no matter the outcome, just learning and gaining experience in the process, not only will not waste my life, but also Experience more of the true meaning of life. The real meaning of watching art biographical films is not to see the production of art, but to be alerted by the process of whether the artist has made efforts worthy of her talent.

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.
