Aristide MAILLOL (1861 – 1944)
Aristide Maillol, born on December 8, 1861 in Banyuls-sur-Mer, where he died on September 27, 1944. He is a French painter, engraver, sculptor, draftsman, etcher and lithographer.
He began his career in painting and became interested in decorative arts very early on: ceramics and tapestry, before devoting himself to sculpture, around the age of forty.
Aristide Maillol was one of the most famous sculptors of his time. His work, silent, based on full forms, developed from the study of the female nude and simplified to the point of purity, represents a true artistic revolution, anticipating abstraction.
His creation marked the turning point between the 19th and 20th centuries, inspired many great artists, including Henry Moore, Arp or Laurens and found resonance with Picasso, Brancusi and Matisse.
Maillol’s work has attracted praise from great writers, such as Octave Mirbeau and André Gide, and from eminent art critics, such as Waldemar George and John Rewald.
