This exhibition at the Alte Nationalgalerie is the first since 1905 to bring together the works of two artist personalities whose works and paths crossed time and again in Paris: Camille Claudel (1864–1943) and Bernhard Hoetger (1874–1949). Both artists were united by their aspirations to seek recognition while simultaneously turning away from the master of French sculpture, Auguste Rodin (1840–1917). In the pressure cooker that was Modernism, both the French sculptress and the German sculptor, who was ten years younger, developed an artistic vitality, garnering international appeal that continues to have an impact today.
