There is...I agree with what you re: The Futurists.<br /><br />There is lots of stuff on the web about her (there was a film about her made in 1988 and due to the outcry re: the way she was treated the mental health laws which go back the start of the 20th century were improved. It is a very sad film esp. highlighting the probs she encountered as a woman artist and being accepted in a male dominated art world)<br /><br />http://www.dia.org/exhibitions/claudel_rodin/preview2.asp<br /><br /><br />Hope that helps...Louisefeministahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279991897445225597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30598467.post-55763306648500070482007-02-05T12:12:00.000+00:002007-02-05T12:12:00.000+00:00I did think about introducing some comments about ...I did think about introducing some comments about the political upheavals of the time, but decided to stay focused - but it's certainly true what you say LF that moments of crisis or transformation can't help but be reflected in cultural life.<br /><br />What's interesting (to me) is that whilst individual artists often did have political affiliation artistic movements often did not. The obvcious example being the futurists many of whom in Russia supported the Bolshevik revolution, many of whom in Italy supported Mussolini and many of whom in the US smoked.<br /><br />I've not come across the name Camille Claudel before - where would be a good place to start?

Art around that time did experiment, pushed the boundaries and weren't constrained by the usual limitations. Just before the First World War, Marcel Duchamp's cubist "Nude Descending the Staircase" scandalized New Yorkers who were used to more traditional forms of art. The influence artists had on each other such as Picasso, Braque , Grosz, Otto Dix, Vladimir Tatlin and Hannah Hoch and many did belong to the same political movements. It must have been an exciting time for art.<br /><br />Btw: have seen any Camille Claudel scupltures (student of Rodin)? Superb! Unfortunately her work lurks in the shadows while Rodin gets the spotlight in the Louvre.Louisefeministahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279991897445225597noreply@blogger.com
