Aristide Maillol

Aristide Maillol, born December 8, 1861 in Banyuls-sur-Mer, where he died September 27, 1944, was a French painter, engraver and sculptor. 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 real artistic revolution, anticipating abstraction. Its creation marked the turning point between the 19th and 20th centuries, inspired many great artists, including Henry Moore, Arp and Laurens, and found resonance with Picasso, Brancusi and Matisse.
