Schools, Sculptors And Spring Fools
Singer, Daniel | May 5, 1984 issue

add to cart   close window

On March 4, 1984, hundreds of thousands of French citizens marched to defend educational freedom, that is, uncontrolled state subsidies for private Catholic schools. The protesters marched in Versailles in France. The exhibition which aroused probably the greatest interest is that of sculptor Camille Claudel, at the Rodin Museum in Paris, France. The reason is both artistic and social. At the turn of the century Claudel was one of France's most gifted sculptors. When she died in 1943, she was nearly 80, but she had spent the previous thirty years a prisoner, confined to a lunatic asylum.
