Russell Library Hubbard Room

1:30 pm

The film “Camille Claudel” will be shown in The Hubbard Room of the Russell Library on Broad Street in Middletown.

The film recounts the troubled life of French sculptor Camille Claudel and her long relationship with legendary sculptor Auguste Rodin. Beginning in the 1880s with a young Claudel's first meeting with Rodin, the film traces the development of their intense romantic bond. The growth of this relationship coincides with the rise of Claudel's career, helping her overcome prejudices against female artists. However, their romance soon sours, due to the increasing pressures of Rodin's fame and his love for another woman. These difficulties combine with her increasing doubts about the value of her work drive Claudel into an emotional tumult that threatens to become insanity.

This film is free and open to the public. It is a French film with English subtitles. It is 150 minutes in length so there will be an intermission with light refreshments available.

 If possible, please register with Eva Dykas at evagdykas@gmail.com or 860.508.4852 so that we may provide enough chairs and refreshments.

If you would like to be placed on The Art Guild of Middletown's mailing list please email Eva Dykas at evagdykas@gmail.comThere are events not only for artists but for non-artists who are art lovers.
