Daily Art | Young Girl with a Sh

卡蜜尔-克劳戴尔，青铜雕像，约1890年，国家女性艺术博物馆藏，14 1/8 x7x7 1/2英寸

Camille Claudel's experience as a studio assistant to Auguste Rodin gave her the opportunity to study the nude figure and develop a profound understanding of anatomical nuances.

卡蜜尔-克劳戴尔作为奥古斯特-罗丹工作室助理的经历让她有机会研究裸体人物，并深入了解艺术与解剖学的细微差别。

Young Girl with a Sheaf depicts a seated young woman leaning against a sheaf of wheat. Claudel emphasized the firmness of the girl’s flesh against a roughly modeled background. The figure’s head twists toward the right while she draws her right arm close to her body and crosses her knees. The pose emphasizes her modesty by denying overt sexuality. The girl’s position is also compelling from different angles and allows Claudel to capture the tension that underlies this awkward stance.

《年轻女孩与一捆麦子》展现了一个坐着的年轻女子靠在一捆小麦上。克劳德尔在一个粗略的模型背景下强调了这个女孩的坚实肌肉。她将头向右扭去，同时右臂靠近身体并交叉膝盖。这个姿势避免了让人感到性感的意味，强调了她的内敛。女孩的姿势从不同角度都很引人注目，让克劳戴尔捕捉到这种不太自然的姿势背后的张力。

By specializing in small-scale sculpture, Claudel built a following of private collectors and created multiple editions to meet demand. She produced several versions of Young Girl with a Sheaf, including one in terra cotta and a series of 12 cast in bronze (this example is the eighth). Claudel gained renown for exercising direct control over the process of casting her sculptures in bronze. She underscored the technical aspect of the artist’s hand at a time when most artists still relinquished the clay model to specialized artisans.

克劳戴尔专攻小型雕塑，吸引了一批私人收藏家，并创作多个版本满足他们的需求。她制作了几个版本的《年轻女孩与一捆麦子》，包括一个陶土版和一系列12个青铜铸成的版本（今天展示的是第八个）。克劳戴尔以直接控制青铜雕塑的铸造过程而闻名。她强调了艺术家手工技艺的重要性，当时大多数艺术家仍将制造粘土模型的工作交给专业工匠。
