1935-1938Description
General view, showing the front; Maillol began his career as a painter and tapestry designer, but after ca. 1900 devoted himself to three-dimensional work, becoming one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. He concentrated almost exclusively on the nude female figure in the round, consciously wishing to strip form of all literary associations and architectural context.
