compared to the extensive information about American artists.
Aristide Maillol was born in Banyuls, France in 1861. Maillol's
early career was spent mainly as a tapestry designer, but he also
painted. Although he first made sculpture in 1895, it was only in
1900 that he decided to devote himself to it after serious eyestrain
made him give up tapestry. After about 1910, he was
internationally famous and received a constant flow of
commissions. With only a few exceptions he restricted himself in
his sculpture to the female nude (showing 500 of 1724 characters). |
