Evenings with Rodin



Unless otherwise noted, activities on Thursday evenings are FREE and have no participant limitations.

May 30 - Film: Camille Claudel (1988)
Introduced by Mary Lyle, Director of Education.
Isabelle Adjani (Best Actress nominee) and Gerard Depardieu star as Camille and Auguste Rodin. The film traces the development of the couple’s intense romance, the rise of Claudel’s career from her start as Rodin’s model, then assistant, and finally as an artist in her own right. Claudel must overcome prejudices against female artists, and the tempestuous relationship with her mentor, Rodin. The film is in French with English subtitles and is rated R for nudity and sexually explicit content.

June 6 - Family Art Fun
Families can participate in an art activity, inspired by the work of Rodin. This week join us for a foil sculpture activity. Create sculptures out of tin foil and try to mimic Rodin’s use of movement and emotion.

June 13 - Film: Rodin (2017)
Introduced by Mary Lyle, Director of Education.
This film is the most recent attempt to capture the life and loves of one of the world’s most famous sculptor, Auguste Rodin. The film takes place around 1880 when Rodin received his first state commission for “The Gates of Hell,” which included two of his most famous sculptures, “The Kiss” and “The Thinker.”  The film is in French with English subtitles. This film is not rated but has nudity and sexually explicit content that is not appropriate for anyone under the age of 18.
