No one can give you greater value but yourself

As a woman who loves art, the heroine's artistic career is really distressing! What is it that brings such a creative and intelligent woman into such a tragic situation? Is it really because of Rodin? Just because Rodin didn't marry her? Or was she unable to escape the shadows of Rodin all her life? She admired Rodin's artistic talent and wanted Rodin, an authority in the sculpture world, to affirm her. Rodin had already begun to "use" her when she was allowed to work for him as his apprentice, and she was simply happy that she was favored by the master, having a kind of superiority or similar to happiness. feel. But, is this love?

Art can't be mixed with love too deeply, this is from the perspective of women, especially the object is a famous male artist. Apart from the professional characteristics of an artist, no matter what kind of art a person is engaged in, it should be clear that artists are also human beings, including men and women. Humans cannot escape human nature. In this society, which is still dominated by men, men have a unique cultural environment advantage for women.

Women are prey, men are hunters. The prey is captured by the hunter, willingly at the mercy of the master, and even the woman will enjoy being ordered and at the mercy of the loved one. When the novelty has not dissipated, the hunter will pamper it like a pet, and once it loses interest, it will abandon it and look for other fresh targets. It's not a moral judgment, it's human nature. Love, for a woman, is to give everything, even her own life, for the man she thinks she loves; for a man, it is just to make life more colorful and quality. And, as I said before, I don't think Camille and Rodin are a love affair. Camille wants to be recognized for her self-worth. Isn't it sad that she puts all her self-value judgments on a man who only wants to use himself for creative inspiration? Although Rodin is talented, his personality is not noble. After seeing his "pet" create works that even he admired, a trace of jealousy arose, and he immediately put away his compliments to Camille with an uneasy expression. Camille was deeply involved, using all her resources to satisfy Rodin, which made Rodin create a lot of more vivid and perfect works in those years when he was with her. This is the expression of a woman's love, but after all, she failed to get a marriage certificate. Of course she was wrong, a person's value does not need to be given by any other person, only herself, only herself can give herself the greatest value. Camille's dad reminded her to remember her Claude name and to make her work for herself, not for that Rodin! Although Camille hated Rodin, she still couldn't let go of the famous sculptor in her heart. It wasn't that Rodin was pestering her, it was she who refused to let go, refused to calm down, refused to be rational... The poor she tortured herself, was beaten by herself... What did she complain about?

Destiny could have been in your own hands, and everything is actually your own choice. You can pursue and love art unconditionally, but as a woman, when dealing with the opposite sex, you should not be carried away by hormones, and you must learn to be calm and rational, although it is not easy to do, and it may not be a hell of a thing. love.

Camille Claudel quotes

  • Morhardt: Who do you think you are?

    Camille Claudel: Don't you know who I am? Or are you pretending?

    Morhardt: What kind of behavior is this? You're crazy!

    Camille Claudel: Camille Claudel. I am Camille Claudel! And if you don't know it, I'll show you!

  • Camille Claudel: My little Paul, you came to see me in May... and I made you promise not to neglect me so terribly. Madhouses are made to inflict suffering. It can't be helped... especially if you never see anyone. They try to force me to sculpt here. They don't succeed, so they make trouble for me. Don't forget, Paul, your sister is in prison with madwomen. Mama wrote the doctor... that I mean to harm you. That I detest you and am out to hurt you. It's not true. I wish she would take me to Villeneuve with her. Do you think I enjoy spending months, years like this without any news or hope? Where does such ferocity come from? How did they manage to change you so? I'd really like to know. You might as well send me to Siberia. Did you take care of my things? Are they in Villeneuve? Be careful they don't fall into Rodin's hands. He's so afraid I might come back. That's why he's keeping me here, isn't it, Paul? I would like to go home and close the door tightly. I don't know if I'll be able to realize this dream to be home. Oh, God, I wish I were in Villeneuve. Your sister in exile.
