 Leslie Sacks Fine Art - Aristide Maillol Biography
Aristide Maillol was a French sculptor whose works are devoted almost exclusively to the female nude.
Maillol determined to join the ranks of the avant garde, first as a decorative artist studying under Alexandre Cabanel (whose voluptuous Birth of Venus hangs famously in the Met in New York), then as a sculptor in the circle of artists who were to contribute to a new chapter in Art History.
Maillol's greatest contribution during this period was his single-handed revival of the lost art of tapestry.

Maillol may indeed be a crucial "missing link" in the evolution of organic abstraction in sculpture, but that's no reason to deny the opulent sensuality that distinguishes his efforts to translate feminine voluptuousness into the greenish-brown smoothness of polished bronze.
The "Maillol type," with her voluptuous, meaty, dimpled roundness, her hair smoothed into a bulbous, mushroom-like bun, seems light-years away from our current ideal of stick-figure androgyny.
From 1940 until his death in 1944, Maillol pursued his ideal of harmony in the midst of Nazi-occupied France, ending his long career on a wistful and nostalgic note.

 "Past Masters: Aristide Maillol, Returning to Form" - Gallery Walk Guide, January 2005
The sculptor Aristide Maillol (1861-1944) had been for a while a painter allied to the Nabis [a post-Impressionist group of artists centered around Paul Gauguin--the word means "prophet" in Hebrew].
The transformation Maillol brought about is as sudden and as far-reaching as that between the Rococo and David, but without any hint of political motivation.
Although Maillol occasionally experimented with more dynamic poses and dramatic contrasts of direction, in general he was content to the end of his long life to continue in much the same vein as this early work.
