MAILLOL, Aristide

	1861-1944
Biography	French sculptor. Born in Banyuls-sur-Mer. In 1885, entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He grew dissatisfied with his art education and began to create tapestry around 1892, with the encouragement of Gauguin and Maurice Denis, whose works he was impressed by. From around 1895, he began producing small-scale sculptures, and in 1902, he held his first solo exhibition at the art dealer Vollard’s gallery. During the latter half of his life, he almost exclusively produced nude woman sculptures, which were characterized by a voluptuous, well-proportioned form. He also created paintings and drawings such as the illustrations for Virgil’s “Georgics.”
