Maillol, very present in Paris thanks to the bronzes installed in the Carrousel gardens by Dina Vierny and André Malraux, and inaugurating the sculpture gallery of La Piscine with Île-de-France, the Catalan Aristides Maillol appears as a sculptor as essential as he is misunderstood and little known.
Thanks to exceptional loans, Maillol's work is presented in all its variety: mainly sculptures, but also paintings, ceramics, embroidery and decorative art objects, as well as drawings and engravings. Although the exhibition covers his entire career, it focuses in particular on the early period, during which Maillol discovered his true vocation and established himself as a sculptor.
