It is true Paul Claudel was no fascist. And it is also true that his position on the Right, as an exponent of Catholic Reaction, facilitated the erection of Vichy as a collaborationist regime and ensured that Petain would become as covered in slime as Pierre Laval, who enthusiastically promoted pro-Nazi collaboration in France. Claudel and others of the Catholic Right became useful to the French fascist movement as one-way screens that opposed and rejected everything progressive because it was tainted with "modernity" but hesitated or entertained even if only momentarily the fascist alternative when it decked itself out as a promise to turn the modern world back.
Ummmm.... What? Claudel was most certainly a fascist. The paragraph above contradicts itself: "Paul Claudel was no fascist." and then "his position on the Right, as an exponent of Catholic Reaction"
Excuse me, but the definition of fascism is the political arm of the Catholic right wing. --Hexag1 (talk) 02:38, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
'An exhibition of her bronzes in the Swiss Foundation Gianadda from 16 November 1990 until February 1991 shows clearly what can be considered only a small proof of the timeless beauty of her sculptures, inspired by a genuine talent.'
This is clumsily expressed, and non-encyclopaedic in tone. Can someone edit it? Best regards. Notreallydavid (talk) 01:05, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
