Aristide Maillol (1861-1944)
Aristide Maillol played an important role in the development of sculpture, from Romanticism to the modern sculptors of the twentieth-century. Using the female form as his primary vehicle, Maillol tempered the emotional quality of Auguste Rodin's work with a quiet restraint. His sculpture may appear classical, but Maillol's work is intensely modern in the subtle tension between the sense of force around a central axis and the sense of force moving outward from that axis, inherent in viewing his sculpture in the round.
