Camille Claudel, artiste maudite
Storyline
The elder sister of writer Paul Claudel, Camille had an extraordinary life as a woman and an artist. During her lifetime, the young sculptor was admired, exhibited, and her talent was recognized by critics. “1:15 p.m. on Sunday” explores the turbulent history of this artistic genius in a new four-part series by Pauline Dordilly, Henri Desaunay, and Anthony Santoro. Auguste Rodin, considered one of the greatest sculptors of his time, was captivated by her creative force. He made her his student, his muse, and then his lover. Yet she met a tragic fate: for thirty years, she was confined to an asylum. She died there in 1943, amid general indifference, forgotten by all, like her work. Too often reduced to her tumultuous love affair with Auguste Rodin, what was Camille Claudel's life really like?
