Camille Claudel

[implied]

hooked up with auguste rodin. he has been typed as some delta ST type (ISTp? ESTj? i can't disagree.)


quick website with works and such

there is a nice film about her out there if anyone is interested. she was a little crazy. destroyed a lot of her own sculpture. she strikes me as one type but i'm interested in other's opinions before i say so heh.

i like her a lot (just from looking at the pictures). i feel like she is full of mirth but won't show it.

I don't know much about her; I did see the movie though. My first guess is INFj.

[Joy]

Reminds me of Kelly.

INFj is sort of what i thought, by the film and such.

she is lovely, eh, .thursday?

A few months ago I was strolling on a street of the Isle de la Cité in Paris; I just happened to walk past Camille Claudel's old house. It's not a museum or anything, it just has a plaque saying that she lived there.

Of course Rodin's old mansion is now the Musée Rodin. It's a bit messy though.

@implied: did you think of any other types?

[implied]

that's kind of an interesting coincidence. the same thing happened with me and jean paul sartre's grave. i was going through the montparnasse cemetery and there it was, right next to simone de beauvoire's. i was a little amazed.

i spent way too much time at the musée rodin when i was there.

if she isn't INFj, she could be a (victimized?) type perhaps. i can't remember enough about the film to say, but there was a lot of controversy apparently since rodin stole a lot of her ideas and claimed them for his own. sometimes she seems like a victim type, to me.

that page has some good stuff on it regarding that.

biography, talks a little about how he wouldn't break his 20 year marriage for her.

as a side note, my dad is always very quick to point out that her work is way better than rodin's and is very quick to bring up the idea-stealing.

Wasn't a lot of Rodin's works sort of carried out by his workers/apprentices and merely signed by him? She was probably more talented than he was.

EDIT: she is almost certainly an introverted ethical type, anyway.

@implied: I watched that movie in the theater, in 1989, with my ESTj Genevieve look-alike girlfriend.
