dc.descriptionOverall view of reclining figure from left side; Until the 1960s, almost all the sculpture in the Tuileries Garden dated to the 18th or 19th century. In 1964-1965, André Malraux, the Minister of Culture for President Charles DeGaulle, removed the 19th century statues which surrounded the Place du Carrousel and replaced them with contemporary sculptures by Aristide Maillol. The garden was remade in 1995 to showcase the collection of twenty-one statues by Aristide Maillol, which had been put in the Tuileries in 1964. In 1925 the town of Aix-en-Provence refused the memorial to Cézanne (stone version; Paris, Mus. d’Orsay), which a committee of artists headed by Frantz Jourdain had commissioned in 1912. Maillol created six bronze casts based on that work. The Monument to Cezanne is on the north side of the Terrasse. Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/ (accessed 5/7/2011)en_US
