Camille Claudel la transgressive, la sculptrice de genie, l'artiste sulfureuse et maudite, l'amante libre de Rodin, basculant dans la folie, enfermee à l'asile durant les trente dernieres annees de sa vie. Artiste trop en avance sur son temps, elle s'affranchit de toutes les regles, de toutes les conventions sociales. Son oeuvre sera sa vie. Outre qu'elle a sculpte avec acharnement durant trente ans, elle a ete, quasiment toute sa vie, une epistoliere assidue. Des lettres, elle en a ecrit des centaines, et nombreuses sont celles perdues ou detruites. Des lettres qui temoignent de son etat d'esprit, de ses ambitions artistiques, de sa passion tumultueuse avec Rodin, de son caractere emporte, de ses relations familiales et amicales le plus souvent conflictuelles, de sa sante psychique vacillante, de sa condition d'alienee à l'asile. Des ecrits qui sont aussi ceux d'une femme qui, dans un style precis et pur, combat son isolement et l'injustice. Grâce à ces lettres, magnifiquement lues par Emmanuelle Devos, on redecouvre son oeuvre ainsi que sa trajectoire, et on comprend pourquoi elle exerce une telle fascination aupres d'un large public.

Claude COLOMBINI & Cecile BERLY Camille Claudel the transgressive, the sculptor of genius, the sulphurous and cursed artist, Rodin's free lover, tipped over into madness, locked up in an asylum for the last thirty years of her life. An artist too far ahead of her time, she broke all rules and social conventions. Her work became her life. In addition to her thirty years of relentless sculpting, she was, for most of her life, an assiduous letter-writer. She wrote hundreds of letters, many of them lost or destroyed. Letters that bear witness to her state of mind, her artistic ambitions, her tumultuous passion with Rodin, her fiery temper, her often conflicting family and friendships, her faltering mental health, her insane condition in an asylum. These are also the writings of a woman who, in a precise, pure style, fights against her isolation and injustice. Thanks to these letters, magnificently read by Emmanuelle Devos, we rediscover her work and her trajectory, and understand why she exerts such a fascination on a wide audience.
