...PRESIDENT OF Penn, Judith Rodin, made more than $1 million last fiscal year for zero days of work, the Daily Pennsylvanian reports. A spokeswoman for the schools calls it "deferred compensation" for meeting goals in Rodin's decade as Penn's leader. That salary topped current president (and Harvard presidential candidate) Amy Gutmann by at least 325 large...
...music. “It is not just older people who go to these concerts,” says Zazulia. “This music is way older than them too, so it’s not like they are any closer to it.”Jesse C. Rodin, a sixth year graduate student in Musicology at Harvard, represents the new guard of early music lovers. He directs the vocal octet Cut Circle (a reference to a Renaissance symbol used to signify a change in timing), and has stayed active in the early music scene on campus...
...happened, the definitive version of The Waltz was not completed until 1893. By that time Rodin had decided not to marry the increasingly erratic and accusing Claudel and instead to return to his old mistress Beuret. Claudel would respond with her masterpiece of abjection, The Age of Maturity, a commission from the French government that Rodin helped her to obtain. A near life-size bronze, it shows a young woman on her knees reaching out vainly to a man being led away by another woman. This desolate ensemble was supposed to be an allegory of man's inevitable journey toward...
...years during which she completed The Age of Maturity, Claudel struggled ever harder to find a style distinct from Rodin's. Working under the spell of Art Nouveau and Japanese prints, she produced some fascinating small exercises like The Wave, in which a near abstract surf of marble/onyx rises above three capering nudes. But the Detroit show is frank in acknowledging the timidity, repetition and sheer mediocrity of some of her late work. Yet even when she was turning out retrograde sculptural commissions for the Countess de Maigret, who served for a time as her patron, she could not help...
...Claudel, who became increasingly paranoid, produced no new work after 1913, when her family had her committed to a mental hospital. The following year she was transferred to another asylum, where she remained until her death almost three decades later. Rodin would die in 1917, one year after the faithful Beuret, whom he had finally married just weeks before her death. Toward the end he was also still secretly sending money to ensure Claudel's comfort at the asylum. If it wasn't an ideal romance, it was in its way an enduring one, and it left some lasting treasures...
