The two sculptors are closest during this period.

Rodin, who considers his young collaborator a great artist, shares with her all of his knowledge and in return enjoys "the happiness of being ever understood, of seeing his expectations ever exceeded". This constitutes “one of the great joys of his artistic life” (Mathias Morhardt).

Stay in England

In the springtime of , Camille Claudel stays with the Lipscombs in Peterborough in England, then in August on the Isle of Wight with Dr Jeans, along with Jessie Lipscomb and Paul Claudel.

Auguste rodin si camille claudel biography books The French sculptor Camille Claudel was the muse, pupil, and lover of Auguste Rodin , as well as a major artist in her own right. She is perhaps better known for her tempestuous relationship with Rodin than for her moving works of art, many of which can be found at the Musee Rodin in Paris. After her breakup with Rodin in , Claudel composed some of her best sculptures, yet she grew increasingly reclusive and paranoid. In her family committed her to an insane asylum, where she remained for the last 30 years of her life. The family moved occasionally as Louis-Prosper's work demanded, living for a time in the small town of Bar-le-Duc, where Claudel first attended school at the age of six.

At Nottingham Castle, she exhibits (with Jessie Lispscomb) the Portrait of Jessie in unbaked clay. She returns to Paris in September, bringing back charcoal drawings.

Upon her return from England, jealous and exclusive Camille Claudel demands of Rodin, in a “contract” signed on 12 October, that he accept no other (female) student but she, that he protect her within the artistic circles and that he marry her following a trip to Italy or Chile.

This contract would never be followed up.

Sakountala

In November , Camille Claudel focuses her energy on the creation of a large ensemble inspired by a drama by the Hindu poet Kalidasa: Shakuntala. Begun in the studio at Rue des Petits Champs, this oeuvre would be completed in the studio at Boulevard d’Italie, to which she would move in January A photograph shows her before the earthen model of the ensemble's young woman, most likely modelled after Jasmina, who is regularly mentioned in her correspondence.

On 8 November , she writes to Florence Jeans:  

"I’m now working on my two larger-than-life figures and I have two models per day: a woman in the morning, a man in the evening.

You can understand how tired I am: I regularly work 12 hours a day, from 7 in the morning until 7 in the evening, and when I get home, it's impossible for me to remain standing and I go directly to bed."

Engagement of Louise et conversion of Paul

Her sister Louise and Ferdinand de Massary become engaged.

Camille claudel sculpture From 8 to 27 january , due to an installation underway, part of the Sculpture Garden is temporarily inaccessible. The artworks remain visible. Camille Claudel was a promising young artist in the early s when she first met Rodin, who was twenty-four years her senior. At the height of the ensuing period of creativity and passion, she produced sculptures that have remained famous, executed with a skillful imbalance and fluidity of form that testify to her great expertise. Her oeuvre as a whole reflects her interest in technical prowess, colorful materials and dramatic presentation.

They would marry in Camille Claudel sculpts a bust of Louise the year of their engagement, followed by a bust of Ferdinand de Massary the year of their marriage.
