Thank you for this very insightful narration about Camille's life and work. It is so very sad that her mother and brother had her admitted to an asylum.
He is a great artist but his work gives me the creeps. I don't like seeing art depicting people that are now dead hanging on walls Reminds me of Victorian post mortem photography. The eyes seem to follow you everywhere. Sargent however is far superior to The Baroque masters who are pretentious. Despite their ability to command a fortune at auction, Baroque painting are pretentious, just an artist thinking their ability to do art made them special. I prefer Sargent but what I find offensive are the females he painted. It is a reminder to modern people just how useless women used to be in bygone ages
I’m a person who people often refer to as “very direct”. They don’t usually consider this as a positive attribute. The problem is, though, if somebody had checked that witch from the beginning, she would not have gotten this out of control. I understand that it is comedic/satirical, but that’s what it’s highlighting. If you feel like you have to be “nice” all the time, what do you do when you are actually wronged? I feel like it’s ok to confront that directly. We have that “nice” thing going on here in the South too.
@@Broken_Cracka Same. Unfortunately most people here aren't like that. It's kinda annoying, tbh. Gotta walk on eggshells in order to talk to anybody here as well. They're easily offended and will start crying at the slightest disagreement.
I think you are confused about who he married and when he died. Camille never married Rodin. She was his mistress for awhile. Rodin married his longtime companion Rose Beuret in 1917, a couple weeks before her death. She died 2 weeks after the marriage and he died in November. The marriage was considered to be for the purpose of protecting his estate.
His work is so amazing. If you ever get a chance to see some in person I hope you take it! The colors are not able to be reproduced. We have a piece in the Institute of Arts in Minneapolis.
That portrait you end with has nothing to do with Caravaggio. He was also presumed to be gay as it influenced some of the workds, so the intro of female model/lover you mention is news to me...
