CAMILLE CLAUDEL : SON FRÈRE L'A FAIT ENFERMER PENDANT QUE LE MONDE L'OUBLIAIT

In 1886, the world's greatest sculptor signed a love contract with a 22-year-old woman. He promised fidelity, exclusivity, and marriage. He kept none of them. Camille Claudel was a genius. Her hands transformed stone into living flesh. Rodin knew it. He loved her, he copied her, he abandoned her. But the worst didn't come from him. Eight days after their father's death, her own brother—the famous poet Paul Claudel—had her committed to a psychiatric hospital. The doctors requested her release. The family refused. For 30 years. She died alone, starved, forgotten. Her body was thrown into a mass grave. Today, we don't even know where she rests. This story is true.
