Jane R. Becker, European paintings, collections management associate at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will continue Darien Community Association’s art lecture series, “Human form in Space: Sculpture,” on Thursday, Oct. 11. On the heels of a year that marked the 100th anniversary of sculptor Auguste Rodin’s death, major sales of Camille Claudel’s work, and the opening of the Camille Claudel Museum in France, Ms. Becker will examine the interactions of both the lives and the art of these two late nineteenth-century figures. The sculptor Camille Claudel’s inventive and empathic representations of the human body are little known in this country. She was Rodin’s student, lover, sometime collaborator, and muse.
