The Sculptors of Work: Meunier, Dalou, Rodin...


September 2020 - May 2021

Around 1880, the theme of work invaded the artistic field. Sculptors such as Constantin Meunier, Jules Dalou and Auguste Rodin depicted various trades, with their gestures, tools and particular clothing, to glorify work, or, on the contrary, to denounce the drift suffered by the working class. In this exhibition, the Camille Claudel Museum has given pride of place to the "sculptors of work", presenting 150 works from 23 different institutions in France and Belgium.
